"There seems to. be 'solve mistake
about this net" method of paying
taxes," remarked a ratepayer to The
News -Record the other day. "We
were given to understand that it we
paid our taxes in two instalments,
one in June and the other in Decem-
ber, that we'd be given a ' discount
on the first. The way it works out,
however, we're given no option but
to pay the first instalments in Juno
and frust pay the full amount. In-
stead of a discount, therefore, we
