Payment of taxes is proceeding on a I'igger scale this week than last week. Collector Day reports. Monday, tax payments at the Alton office totaled 540,000 and yesterday payments totaled $31.000. Property owners seem to realize that their cooperation is necessary, if the collector's is to bo accomplished In the limited time allowed this season. The dally totals are much larger than in previous years, and Mr.

Day is greatly pleased at the spirit shown by tax payers in prompt settlement ot tax bills. Collector Day said today that up td last evening, over 5,000 property owners had been waited on at the tax office which is located over the Lull- drug store on AVest Third street. If payments continue at this rate, the remaining eight days before the office closes will be ample to roll up a tola ralpdiy from laughter to tears, as he drove home tho truth that an ideal home was one where order, happiness and religion are paramount.
