There was a sharp cut in the amount of taxes collected in July un- der the two main classifications—in- come and miscellaneous—as compared ‘with July a year ago. The compara- tive income payments were $30,023,624 for July and $38.102,040 for July, 1923. Miscellaneous pavments dropped from $97.568.449 in July. 1923, to $80,791.261 last July A big factor in the reduction in the amount of miscellaneous collections was the drop in payments from the automobile industry.
