ANNUAL REPORT
Additional Report.
This completes my ninth annual report as your Col- lector of Taxes, in which time you have entrusted to me for collection about a million and a half of dollars.
You will recall our collections of 1905 tax reached the remarkable percentage of 94%.
This year I am pleased to report that the 1906 collec- tions reached 95%, a percentage that exceedingly few cities or towns in the Commonwealth have ever at- tained.
The small percentage of 1906 Betterment tax collected is the unavoidable result of the unusually late commit- ment of said tax to my hands, it being given to me only a day or two before my books closed.
Respectfully submitted,
SAMUEL M. HOLMAN,
Collector of Taxes.
