Percentage Less in 1923 Last year the delinquency was more than greater being then However the total taxes of last year were considerably greater than they were this year then being The delinquency for last year was 1.03 per cent or 10 per cent less than this year The number of delinquent taxpayers this year are considerably in excess of the number last year This is due to the fact that
