Interest Cut On Delinquent Personal Taxes For 60 Days

Reduction to intoteet rates on delinquent personal ^taxes was authorized by a resolution adopted by Cape May’s city commission on Friday. The measure provides reducing Ae rates from seven per cent to three per cent from Ae period June 18 to July 18 and four per cent from July 18 to August 17. After Aat time, Ae rate reverts to seven per cent. Commenting on the eommis; .on’s action, Mayor T. Millet Hand, director of revenue and finance, said: “The assessment and collection of personal taxes Aroughout New Jersey has always been in a raAer chaotic condition. Attempts to revise and correct the entire system by statewide legislation have so tor been unavailing. “In many instances, particularly where assessment of personal taxes is separate and apart from any real estate assessment, Ae collection of personal taxes lags,” “The remedy for non-payment by Ae distraint and sale of Ae assessed property or by Ae arrest and imprisonment of Ae delinquent taxpayer are boA very drastic and collectors are naturally reluctant to undertake Aese

-methods except as a last resort. “Cape May, in common wiA most other New Jersey municipalities, has this problem of delinquent personal taxes. Before entering upon rigorous meAods of collection, we have determined to encourage Ae payments of Aese taxes by reducing Ae rate of interest on delinquencies for a abort period of time. “This is a distinct deviation from our general policy and will be applied only to interest on delinquent personal taxes, and for a period limited to 60 days from

June 18, 1943.

“For 30 days after June 18, Ae collector will receive personal taxes wiA interest at three per cent in lieu of the standard interest charge of seven per cent. “For Ihe next 30 days, Aat is from July 18 to August 17, Ae collector will receive personal taxes wiA interest at Ae rate of

four per cent.

“After August 17, Ae interest charges revert to Ae standard charge of seven per cent, and a campaign will probably be instituted for collection of Ae remaining delinquencies,” Ae may-

years, waa re-appointed by Ae city commiaaion on Friday to serve during Ae summer season at a monthly salary of 8150. Announcing the re-appointment and plans for operation of Ae Beach Patrol and Red Cross emergency tent for the season. Commissioner I. Grant Scott, head of the department of public safety, announced Aat it would not be feasible to combine Ae emergency tent wiA Ae Beach Patrol headquarters this year, had previously been planned

by city officials.

"Several yean ago when the J Beach Patrol headquarters was _ | built,” Scott explained, “we con- | templated combining Ae two , buildings and provided a section i for the emergency beach hospital i wiA sliding panels which could - partition it from the rest of Ae

I headquarters.

I “At Aat time, Ae local Red | Cross bran A which operated Ae | emergency tent decided that it preferred to have separate Quarters, so the city continued to _ maintain the small emergency

station.

“Some months ago Ae Red Cross branch requested Ae city to combine Ae two to relieve Ae Red Cross branch of some of its responsibility in view of Ae increased war-time activities of the branch. This we agreed to

do.

"Now, however, we find that Ae sliding panels originally made for Ae Beach Patrol headquarters have been used for oAer city purposes, and it would be raAer expensive to replace them. We feel Aat it will be more economical to operate Ae two buildings separately as in Ae past,” Scott continued. \
