Collector ^ Hoyt King Com- ments on Splendid Response That New Trier taxpayers now ap- preciate fully the benefits to be de- rived from payment of taxes promptly and to the township collector is prov- ed this year in the report issued this week by township collector Hoyt King, stating that the tax return for 1921 and paid into the township cof- fers amounts to $620,000, as against theen- mm The customary increase in the tax returns in any year has been from 130,000 to $40,000 over the return of the previous year. Collector King jgvsjSgil .^-.Return Is Uniform The payment throughout the town- ship was uniform, according to Mr. King, taxpayers in each village having realized that payment of taxes in the township means^notjonly a greatsavr ing and convenience but affords the taxing bodied an opportunity to rea- lize more quickly on the return. A letter signed by heads of the vari- ous taxing bodies in the township, and calling upon the taxpayers to make their remittances with the Township Collector at the First National Bank of Wilmette, was directly responsible for the excellent response throughout Newâ€" Trier, according to Collector Hoyt.
