This year the percentage apparently will be higher still. While a definite prediction pre-diction cannot be ventured since additional charges are to be add ed and additional payments fill come in during January, it ap pears the final collection, of 194Z taxes will run about one per cent higher than last year, Mr. Ben nett said.
