We would draw your attention to the marked decrease of $3,253.48
it' the December, 1958, collection of arrears as compared with collections
of December, 1957.
This decrease is evidently tre result of unwarrarted publicity
arit curtailment of the method of tax collection as set out in the Assessment
Act.
It is recommended that Resolutior Numbers 189 and 214 be rescinded
a 'it the Collector collect taxes accoriliJlg to the Act.
