Last year only 70 per cent of the roil was collected on the same date. Also there are less arrears of taxes outstanding than there has been for a great many years. Arâ€" rears this year amounted to only $10,667.51, as compared with $14,â€" 500, at the same time last year. Taxes in all but two of the School Sections are lower than last year, the County Rate being down one and sevenâ€"tenths mills, with good prospects of it being lowered again next year.
