T. SELBY Sanborn Hale, tax cotlector for . New Trier township, last year turned over to the supervisor of the township, $19, 235.83, a very handsome sum of money indeed, which accrues to the township due to solely the fact that the tax payers of Ne~v Trier paid their taxes to the township collector instead of to the county coilector, thereby avoiding the necessity of a tax levy to conduct the township affairs. Last year, approximately one-half the total general and personal taxes due from New T .r ier township residents were paid to the township collector, thereby enabling the township to benefit to the extent of more than $19,000. By this token. it is very evident, that those who did not pay their taxes to the township collector, but who paid them to the county "Collector, could have materially added to the financial gain of their township by having made their payment to Collector Hale. Mr. Hale is entering upon his third year as township tax collector. The first year he collected something like $920,000. Last year, he collected a little more than $1,050,000, and this, in the face of the fact that he did not recei\'e his books until about five days later than he did the year before. William H. Barnes, Organist, and Olive June Lacey, Soprano, , to Give Program By CRITIC Since the completion of the new church auditorium and installation of the Austin organ almost three years ago, the Baptist church has proven a cherished rendezvous for all musiclovers along the north shore. No ~mall amount of credit for this is due to the energetic interest of \Villiam Harrison B;trnes . oi Evanston, who irom the day of in stallation, ha s served as the organist of the church. This Sunday he will preside at the organ 111 the third Vesper concert of the current season. Olive June Lacey, soprano, will .he the soloist. Mr. Barnes has been much more than organist, however. He began his :-.ervice for the church by assisting the organ committee m specihing the ensemble of the organ, he aided in the choice of a builder, he superintended the installation and has subsequently added as his personal gifts two beautiful stops, the french horn and the harp celeste. · Leader in His Art ~Ir. The hopes of many · years are at last being realized by the Scout troops of the North Shore area. Men are already at work preparing the logs for a Boy Scout cabin in the for~st preserve west of Glencoe. This cabin will be used by the twenty-three troops of the area for over-night and Saturday hikes. The cabin is being built by the Board of Commissioners of Cook county, largely through the effor.t s of County Commissioner Oscar \V. Schmidt of Wilmette. The plans· are already drawn, to include a fireplace and other features that will provide for year round comfort of campers, both Scouts and leaders . "It is the thing that we have been looking for\\'ard to ever since the organization of our council." Scout executive \\'alter U cPcck said, "It will be a great help to every troop and will help us all to keep the 'out' in Scouting. \\. e arc all \·cry happy over the good news." It is planned that the cabin will be completed for a public dedication shortly following Scout week, and will be in regular ue about March 1. Wednesday, February 2 12 :15 p. m.

Coffee and cakes will he served by the members of the social committee at the close of the program. Learn to "Pay' at Home" The splendid increase is indicative that the taxpayers are .more and more appreciating the importance of paying their taxes to the township collector, and Mr. Hale is very hopeful, and will leave no effort on his part undone to hring it about, that this year will witness a corresponding increase in the number who pay tryeir taxes locally, instead of paying them to the county collector, and thereby giving the township just that much more available cash. The tax laws provide that the township collectors shall have their books, on which to begin the work of making collections, after the first of January, and March 10 is normally the date on which the collector is required to return his books to the county collector. There is always delay, however, in getting the tax books made up and into the hands of the collector, and Co1lector Hale says that it now appears he will get the books this year, in February, perhaps not until the latter part of the month. Therefore little time will be a vailahle for his getting out ~he hilts and for the taxpayers to get in their returns. This announcement is made at this time that all taxpayers of the township may understand any unseemly delay in getting their tax bills, and also that they may again be reminded of the importance of making their payments, when they do re-ceive the bills, to the township tax collector. .
