Revised 1932 Tax Bis Distributed Some of the New Trier township taxpayers have been receiving their revîsed 1932 tax bills, but, as Col- lector Sanborn Hale points out, the only persons w~ho wvil1 receive such bills are those owning such parcels of real estate that come within the classification of one to sixteen, wbich classîllîcation affects residentiai prop- erty only. Taxpayers who have pre- viously received bills for vacant lots and business property and such prop- erty as does not come within the onxe to.sixteen classification, will not rece ive a revised bill. SmalI Rate Cut It is pointed out by the collector that tbe rate reduction, if allowed will flot amount to 3 per cent in New Trier township, as the amount of the rate objections total only Il cents at. the present time, and it might be less if the bigber courts sbould see fit not to allow the fuI! amount. For example, Collector Hale said: '"Three per cent of the Glencoe b)ills would amount to 20 cents on each $100 of valuation; 19 cents in Win- netka; about 18 cents in Kenilworth, and 17 to 18 cents in Winmette. Penalties Accrue "Thus, it can, readily be seen, be said, "that the reduction amounts to only one and one-baîf to .? per r' instead of 3 per cent,- in New Trier township, and that penalties on al unpaid taxes,. except those coming under the classification. of one to six- teen, whicb bear no penalty at the present time, now equal more than the amount of the discount if al- lowed." Offers Assistance Collector Hale asks taxpayers who. have. any questions relative, to the corrected bills to cal! on bim for as- sistance ini avoidinz d'fF-,îlt:e%,. He is clearinig up from 50 to 75 such cases daily, and in doing so is compelled to mnake many trips to the county build- ing. Therefore, he advises that it .will be well to telephone be fore com- inig, tbus avoiding a second trip.
