We face the new year with all its uncertainties, with a confidence and courage born of experience, and an abiding faith in our good city. In some of the darkest hours of the year just closed, there have been moments big with portent and inspiration that have made us prouder than ever before to call Attleboro our home.


We shall go on with our work with a full realization of the fact that every public and personal interest must be subordinated to the winning of the war in which our beloved country is engaged, and whatever the future may hold, there will be no weariness of well- doing and, please God, no faltering in purpose or performance.

COLLECTOR'S REPORT


December 21, 1917.


To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Municipal Council :-


In reviewing the work of the past year, a financial statement is of no value at this time but would state, however, that collections, in spite of the extra demands upon the taxpayers, have been about normal.


Following is a statement of the Poll Tax account in comparison with 1916 :-


Dec. 1, 1916. Poll Taxes committed.


$10,864.00


Collected


9,582.00


Uncollected


$1,282.00


Dec. 10, 1917. Poll Taxes committed.


$11,108.00


Collected and abated ..


9,636.00


$1,472.00


About 150 Polls of enlisted men


300.00


$1,172.00


One of the paramount problems to contend with in the collection of taxes is the work of the deputy. The amount allowed by statute for the serving of a warrant by a deputy is $1.00, but the deputy is often obliged to spend many hours in trying to locate a person, only to find that they have left the city or cannot for some other reason be lo- cated and it can be readily understood that this is not only discourag- ing but unprofitable to the deputy. In the face of this condition I be- lieve that a small appropriation to pay the deputy a specified sum per hour for the time spent in the collection of these bills would be an economy to the city.


Owing to the increase in the number of books, the storage room of this department is inadequate and it will be necessary to acquire more room this year. The Commissioner of Public Records demands that they be stored in a fire-proof safe.


This department has been without a typewriter, depending upon the generosity of the other departments for the use of theirs, and I believe that one should be purchased for the joint use of the Auditing and Collecting Departments.


As to the salary of the City Collector, I feel the same as last year, namely, that the collector is not being paid proportionate to the re- sponsibility of this department and I sincerely trust that the salary may be increased this year.
