Brownwood, Texas, July 8.—The
Brownwood city council, on recom-
mendation of Mayor W. A. Butler, re-
cently passed an ordinance fixing a
I penalty and interest ■ on
1931 taxes instead of the 10 per cent
penalty and six per cent interest ort
delinqent taxes charged in most ci-
ties of the state.
The new regulation w*" benefit
those who pay their taxes soon after
they become delinquent. Others
long delinquent will have to pay
more. The old method really meant
that the man who paid his arrears of
taxes first had to pay more than the
man who waited, Mayor Butler, says.
The schedule of graduated interest
and penalty ranges from .02 per cent
for February, 1932, to 16 per cent on
January, 1931. The new law already
had speeded up delinquent tax col-
lections in the city.
