A—4 TAX DELINQUENCY DROPS IN FAIRFAX 13.5 Percentage on June 30 Lowest Since 1929, Treasurer Reports. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star FAIRFAX, Va, June County closed its books as of June 30 with the smallest tax delinquency on a previous year's levy since 1929, it was announced this morning by Dr. F. W. Huddleson, county treasurer. Of the total real estate and per- sonal property levy for 1936, amount- ing to $361,506, approximately $48,000 was returned delinquent as of June 80, the treasurer stated, which is 13.5 per cent of the entire levy. A great many persons paid their taxes almost at the June 30 deadline in order to avoid the interest charge which auto- matically began on all unpaid 1936 taxes on July 1. The percentage of delinquency this June 30 represented a decrease of more than 3.5 per cent over the cor- responding time last year. the treas- urer pointed out. At the close of busi- ness June 30, 1936, slightly more than 17 per cent of the 1935 levy was re- turned delinquent ¥ 5. —Fairfax A similar increase in collections on the 1936 State income and intangible levies was also reported by Dr. Hud- dleson. As of June 30, but $466 re- mained unpaid on the 1936 intangitle levy of $21.500. This marekd a 98 per cent collection as against a 97 per cent collection last year. The State income levy was $24.288 for 1936, of which amount only $408 was returned delinquent in the treas- urer's office, a 1.7 per cent delin- quency, compared with a delinquency of approximately 2 per cent the cor- responding period in 1936. Ordinarily the county holds to a very high aver- age in the collection of both intangible and income taxes, and of the 1935 levy only $123 of the intangible levy | 18 in arrears and $198 of the income | levy. In the pre-depression years the | county generally carried forward only | & small delinquency on the real es- tate and personal property levies, Dr. Huddleson asserted. but beginning Wwith 1930 the per cent took a sharp Jump upward. r()lll‘t]l (Continued rst Page.)
