Last Lap Hardestl
In Tax Collecting
In collecting tax e s, like many a
nother task, it is the last lap that is
the hardest.
That was indicated today by the
report made by D. P. Ray. Jr., comi
ty tax collector, to the county com
missioners at the close of the fiscal
year.
Rav reported that he has col
lected 88.47 percent of the 1952
charge of $721,366.85 needed to op
erate the vast county business.. In
actual numbers the collector has a I
balance uncollected of $83,145.93, or j
a 11.53 percent still due.
Customarily, budget makers bank -
on around ten percent of taxes be
ing uncollectable, but that doesn’t
lessen the collector's responsibility
to get them if he can.
Percentagewise, Harnett this year j i
is 1.63 percent behind in collections -
over the same month a year ago.
And while not looking for any spec
ial explanation for this lag. Ray
I pointed out that dry weather, burn
ing crops and temperatures near a
I hundred, were not exactly designed
rushing to visit the
THE DAILY RECORD, DUNN, N. C.
