Finances Good Taxes - Few Unpaid A good indication of the pros- perity o! any community is giv- en by the amount o! outstanding taxes on the municipal tax rolîs. On this basis, the citizens of Bowmanville evidently enjoyed a high level of prosperity during 1954, as only $23,849 in taxes remained uncollectect as o! Dec. 31 out o! a total tax roll o! e285,379; Since that date this figure has been cut to some $18,000. This is even slightly better than 1953 when $21,000 remain- ed uncollected at year's end eut o! a tax roll o! $265,000.
