REPORT OF THE TREASURER AND COLLECTOR OF TAXES


Somerville, Mass. January 30, 1926


To the Honorable, the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen of the City of Somerville :


Gentlemen :


I herewith present the annual report of the City Treas- urer and Collector of Taxes for the year 1925. The outstand- ing feature of the report is the statement showing uncollected taxes, the balance uncollected prior to the 1925 commitment being $334.44 for the year 1924. The amount allowed for Overlay & Abatement in the commitments of 1922, 1923 and 1924, was $87,475.00, being approximately 1% of the total warrant for these years. Of this amount there was saved for and credited to Reserve, Surplus from Overlays the sum of $27,364.05 because of the prompt collection of the taxes. This saving was equal to 31% of the total allowed for Overlay & Abatement account for the years referred to. The taxes of 1925 show satisfactory collections. The total poll commit- ments were $61,872.00, outstanding December 31, $2,696.00, or approximately 41/2 % ; personal tax commitments $267,297 .- 96, outstanding December 31, $27,392.35, or approximately 10% ; real estate commitments $2,649,876.06, outstanding De- cember 31, $412,574.48, or approximately 16%, which would seem to be a fairly good record.


Respectfully submitted,


JOSEPH S. PIKE,


City Treasurer and Collector of Taxes.
