OFFICIALS PONDER LONGER TAX PERIOD; NEED FUNDS Hear Pleas For Extension But Treasurer's Fund Exhausted Jt is possible that the Butler county budget is more than "a mere scrap of paper" after all. The three men who comprise the Board of County Commissioners, when they.jro into regular session Tuesday, may hearken to pleas of those -who desire more time for tax payments. Until the commissioners act to provide Mrs. Lillian Kinzer, county treasurer, with more money for her staff, it will be. impossible to foretell when the tax collection -will end.

Mrs. Kinzer. favors a later collection; the commissioners are agreeable, and John M. Hnrlan, county auditor, will not ask for the treasurer's books before August 10 and even after that. Some of the tax money might be accepted without the penalty, for tardiness.

Tear's Allowance. Mrs. Kinzer is to leave the office September 7. The budget for the county treasurer in 1931 was fixed at $13,000 and she was empowered to spend $8,883.32 which ivonld leave $4,116.03 to Joseph H. DuBois, who is to be her successor.

But Mrs. Kinzer asks $2,000 more to carry on. To take this from the amount remaining in the fund would hamper DuBois almost to the point of closing the office. He needs, according to an unofficial opinion a minimum of $3,335. somehow the commissioners must dig up additional money for the office or the tns collection will not be continued.

Mrs. Kinzer told them so. Asked Extension. Part of the property owners, either unable to pay then or hoping for a delay, ask that the time extended. Mrs.
