Township collector Sanhorni Hale, and County Treasurer Mc- Donougb, this year accepted 1030 *tax anti cipation warrants to the amount ùf:the taxes for the -miu- .nicipality issuing the warrants. The coll ector, cannot, however, accept a school warrant in excess of the school tax or. a Village warrant ini excessý of the village, tax. -He cannot pay out cash, in change or apply, the excess to the state, county, or other tax. To provide, for this our school I'oards, and the; Wilmüet te Village board issue to subscribers some warrants, of' smnall denominations. Should taxes be reduced, as niany small warrants as rnay be in excess of the. school or village tax, may be retainied, and the balancé ýapplied uponf payment ocf taxes. Such *warrants- as are retaîiedinxay.,be, c'ashied when the collection of the 1931 tax. is miade. Only 75 percent Of the aincunt of the levy for the year r,îay be issuled in warrants. T11ese inust be paid out of the first /75 percent of the taxes collected. Whatever is collected over. 75 percent goes té pay expenses of the tax hodv. By taking tax warrants the ta\- pa yer simply laya aside monev' to apply on his taxes, receiving 6 percent on the monev 'nhile in- vested. At the saine finie. the buyer is aiding his local govern- nients to continue operating. If is a case now of the people meeting a condit ion brougbt about by' delayed collection of the 1931 fax. The taxpayer must noi fail to understand that the situation soý far as the schools and the village are concerned,,is critical and the nleed great. 1BACK "FROM MOTOR TOUR Mrs. F. W.
