Tbe commissioner's clerks have been at-work transcribing them 00 the land ledgers iu tbe county treasurer's office and settlement of the delinquent taxes must now be made through that official. Properties upon which no payment is mode within two years will bo advertised snd sold. There is sn enormous tot of them, a msjority of the parcels returned being vacant lots, although there are not a few pieces of mountain scrup timber and unused farm lands. Tbe treasurer's sales are held every two years, and as a sale was held last June, none will bs held until June, 1922. In the mean time, it is expected tbst many of tbe owners will cell to pay thalr tax. When the properties are advertised snd sold, a com- lete title la uot given by tbe country officials to the purchasers A deed is given immediately upon the payment of tbs purchase money whioh is usually just tbe tax, interest and costs and this deed must bo held two. years before the inceptive title granted PERSONtJpGRAPIIS People Who Visit Here end Those Who Go Away.

'_»__._._ or sny person having so equity in tbe property can come around and pay tbe tax snd costs, plus 25 per cent penalty for the purchaser and thus redeem it. Io cases where tbe treasurer puts up a parcel ot ground for sale no person mske a bid, the property is automatically knocked down to the commissioners and a redemption can be made from tbera without paying the penalty. If however, no red em tion is made, the commissioners may turn around, make a sale and give a complete title forthwith. It is a lougway around to get tax and it very often happened in tbe long run that tbe county loses on the proposition, but is is ths only way out for tbe collectors to get tbe non-payers off their lists. Much of the property recently returned is of great value and the return was made necessary because tbe owners or reputed owners.have been unable beosuse of tbe stringencies of tbe times to scrap together enough cash to pay tbe tax.

Io cases where tbe treasurer puts up a parcel ot ground for sale no person mske a bid, the property is automatically knocked down to the commissioners and a redemption can be made from tbera without paying the penalty. If however, no red em tion is made, the commissioners may turn around, make a sale and give a complete title forthwith. It is a lougway around to get tax and it very often happened in tbe long run that tbe county loses on the proposition, but is is ths only way out for tbe collectors to get tbe non-payers off their lists. Much of the property recently returned is of great value and the return was made necessary because tbe owners or reputed owners.have been unable beosuse of tbe stringencies of tbe times to scrap together enough cash to pay tbe tax.
