I herewith present the annual report of the City Treas- urer and Collector of Taxes for the year 1926.
Especial attention might be called to the small amount of uncollected taxes outstanding prior to the year 1926, viz., $478.52 for the year 1925; and to the amount transferred from Overlay and Abatement accounts for the years 1924 and 1925 to Reserve Fund, Surplus from Overlays, viz., $6,944.01 Amount previously transferred from the
years 1922, 1923, 1924. 27,364.05
$34,308.06
This sum represents the amount saved in cash from the amount of $114,535.36 allowed for the years 1922, 1923, 1924 and 1925 for Overlay and Abatement, the said amount of $114,535.36 being a little less than 1% of the amount of taxes committed in the years previously mentioned.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH S. PIKE,
City Treasurer and Collector of Taxes.
