A curious state Of affairs exists in
some Of the counties in West Virginia.
Take Webster county sas an example.
There are in that county $50, 600 acres
Of land, 100000 acres are on tax du
plicatc, and taxes actually paid on that
amount. One individual pays taxes on
$4,000 acres, or nearly double the en-.
tire acreage Of the county. The lands
have been sold and resold in New
York for speculative purposes until
tn acreage has been multiplied nearly
eight times its actual amount, As the
lands are nomj0aIiy appraised, and are
not Of great present value, the holders
OF titles pay the taxes without grum'
bling.
