TAX COLLECTOR'S REPORT.


Derry, N. H., Feb. 14, 1918.


We have this day audited the books of Ernest L. Abbott, collector and find them as follows


Resident property tax com- mitted $77,830.31


Additional property tax com- mitted 34.20


Non-resident property tax


committed 2,451.27


Polls committed, 1776.


3,552.00


Additional polls committed, 15 30 00


Total commitment. $83,897.78


Collected in cash


$70,764.28


Abated by Selectmen


201.22


Total collections $70,965:50


Uncollected taxes includ- ing both property and polls $12.932.28


· Interest collected, $76.14.


We find that all the above collections have been turned over to Charles Bartlett, treasurer. The number of polls collected, included in the above collections, was 1319. Of the remaining 457 polls uncollected it appears that a major portion are serving in the military forces of the United States. There are also approximately 75 polls who are taxed in with the property taxes. These will in all probability be paid at the time the property tax is paid. .
