Sheedy Observing 83rd Birthday Speaker Explains How Tax Receipts May Be Used As Cash Tax receipts may under certain conditions he used as' legal money for payment of wages due, Secre tary W. N. Decker of the Altoona school district told members of the Altoona Klwanls club assembled for their regular meeting yesterday noon at the Penn Alto hotel. The circumstances under which tax receipts become money arise, Mr. Decker explained, when employers have satisfied wage attachments Issued by the school district to collect delinquent head taxes of employes.

"The school district's receipt is sued to the employer upon pay ment of such delinquent taxes In behalf Of the employe may be used by the employer ln place of cash for payment of all or part of the wages due the employes in ques tion," Mr. Decker said. Discussing collection of delin quent school taxes, Secretary Decker also revealed other little-known legal aspects of the problem. "In the matter of property taxes. tenants can be held liable for pay ment of the landlord's tax in cases delinquency.

When you rent a house, you become Jointly respon sible with the landlord for pay ment of school taxes assessed on the property rented. In extreme cases, your personal property can be sold to collect taxes on the house you rent," Calling delinquent taxes "one of the big financial problems of the city of Altoona," Secretary Decker held that only by giving close attention to the matter and by care ful collection of all back taxes can the interests of the citizens be served. "Taxes are collectible, and taxes are going to be collected," he de clared. "I believe that by the end of the present fiscal year, we may be able to show a decrease," he stated "Three things have contributed to the Improvement: first, better times; second, we are pressing harder for collection, and third, certain legislation has provided abatement of penalties." M. Verna Faust, a teacher of botany ln Altoona High school, urged the club to take action ask ing the state government to pur chase and preserve Lakemont park as a shrine of natural beauty and historical interest.
