and are due in four installments — the first installment delinquent on the first Monday in December, and the second, third and fourth installments delin­quent on the first Mondays of March, June and August of the following year. (Thus, the 1953 taxes are partly paid in 1953 and'partly paid in 1954, and tax receipts for 1953 are largely expended during the 1954 calendar year.) Taxes remaining delinquent as of the fourth installment delinquent date (the first Monday in August) are transferred to the County, and if not redeemed within the next two years, the property is deeded to the County. 10$ annual interest is charged after the delinquent date. (A change-over to a fiscal year basis will take place in 1955. The 1954 assessment will be made as usual, and when the delinquent dates of the first two installments -- December, 1954, and March, 1955, — are passed, the re­maining two installments will be cancelled. In July, 1955, the 1955-56 tax year will commence.) As the District has never levied a tax, the following collection record is an approximation; the records of the taxing units which are all or substantially all within the boundaries of the District have been combined. This compilation covers more than 95$ of the assessed valuation of the District.
