City dump Continued from page i J dispatched four employees to the dumps to sift through coffee grounds and banana peels in search of motor fuel tax payments. About 40 soiled checks were recovered, and Tom Duggar, assistant collections director, estimated 25 checks and returns remain unaccounted for. her Since this is the time of year the tax commission usually cleans up, it seems appropriate that the story revolves a-ro- an overzealous janitor who tossed out an unmarked cardboard box left sitting by an office trash basket. The file boxes are usually locked safely in a nearby cabinet at closing time. But one was overlooked by overtaxed employees heading for home the Friday before, Duggar explained. Duggar said business-peopl- e would probably be fuming mad when they discovered their fuel tax payments were made in vain. This week, Duncan will send letters to about 150 businesses suspected of having attempted to pay their bills. The letter will state fuel tax payment is overdue, and request the business to File, or refile if it had already done so. Making an obscure reference to a clerical error, the letter will suggest payment on the first check be cancelled with the bank.

Nonetheless, there are those at the commission who are laughing at the faux pas. Two employees charged with responsibility for the checks are not smiling, Duncan added. A two week suspension was levied against the pair for their negligence. 0 0 for your business i 9& Buy or Lease. Location, cash flow and controlled tenant mix.
