ASSOCIATED AND CENTRAL PRESS SERVICE CITY WAY BREAK : EVENFORPERIOD Uncollected Taxes Amount To Only About $5,000 For Past Year If last minute collections are suf ficient by the end of this month, the City of Henderson expects almost to break even In Its operating coats for the fiscal year, which ends June 30. It was said at tne city clerk's office today that uncollected tax as for 1931 amount to only about 35-000. represent ing only six or seven percent of the approximately $85,000 property taxes that were assessed for the year. That Is considered a highly creditable show ing in view of the depressed condi tion of business in general. Drastic economies already have been ordered by the City Council for the fiscal year beginning July 1. and It is believed that, even with the shrinkage in values of property, the tax rate may be held down to a level with what it was for the past year A complete tabulation of the listings of property for the year has not been announced, and the exact amount has not been learned. Henderson s bonded debt is under st;>od to -be one of the smallest of any municipality in the State of Its size or even smaller, but. the way the se curities fall due .the peak will be reached during the coming year, and after that will take a sharp drop which will in itself lighten the load If the coming year can be passed through successfully, it will be easier to finance the municipal business after that, according to city officials LAST RiTESHEtD i FOR MRS.
