He estimates that there are probably more than 1,000 dogs THE INTANGIBLE TAX (Tampa Tribune) The Leesburg Commercial isn’t a bit enthusiastic about the intangible tax drive. | wy lows: H It cost practically a dollar for every name listed on the intanzible roll in Lake county. And when the 512 separate entries were made it was dis- covered that 73 were due to pay less than a dime apiece, 117 camé under a quarter, 181 under a half dollar and $21 will pay less than a dollar apiece. That leaves only 281 profitable entries if the collection expenses wére not chiseled out of the counties or the as- sessors. The county actually will re- eeive 30-odd dollars as its share of the tax collections. Delving further into ‘these entries we discover that seven are paying a penny each, 15 are to pay two’ pennies, three owe three pennies; . nine owe four pennies and one gets off * with a nickel. While many intangible tax payments are very small, there have been substantial large payments. Collections in'H rough | county have been considerable; probably also true of the other larger counties. One feature of the tax which perhaps is not desirable is that it permits many per- sons to qualify as “taxpayers” for a’ dime or less—and the county sustains a net loss | of at least 90 cents on each one of these items, Temperature Highest Lowest .
