Wilson. county tax colIcclor. has been notified by the Stirely Company in which he is bonded thai he must not hold chocks for Cu'>ir? redemption:. An exempt from the communic.ation Is as follows: In the past in many counties it has been the custom of collectors to unknowingly accept bad checks. It has also been the practice of collectors to hold checks. This is particularly true :u cases where the taxpayers desire :o get the benefits of the discounts. In some cases ii has been the practice of tax collectors to sign notes. "The reason for this letter to you lis that if any of the above practices I are in any way in effect in your office. we do not desire to stay on your ihpnd. These things arc contrary to good business policy and you cannot do youvself, the county or your bonding company justice if you do anything but adhere to the very "best of business practices. Please bear this in mind." Mr. Wilson says that so tar he has received no Tad checks, has held r.o checks for future payment, and sinIce rely hopes that no one will think oi 'giving him one and causing himself the embarrassment thereof. Il< states that he cannot and will not hoi I worthless checks, that it is not possible for him to do so on account of the conditions and requirements of his bond.
