In an effort to collect the many
'lious.mil> of dollars of delinquent
taxes which appear on the rolls in
the I:ix Collectors office, the com-
missioner's court has employed an
expert delinquent tax collector and he
is now mailing out notices to those
ill linquent.
It is estimated that there is be-
t wiiti $Mi,(lOO.no and $1110,(100.00 on
the delinquent rolls of our county,
and it is thought that a large part
of thi can he collected. Those who
I1'reived notices are urged to call on
Tax Collector II. M. DeGlandon and
make arrangements to settle for
i <h' i ft thirty days tr
rust of suit*.
