One OF the interesting duties OF Audi
tor Runkel these days and one OF the
most tedious is revising the delinquent
personal tax list. All who at any time
IN the history OF the county have de-
faulted in the payment of personal taxes
are listed and each year the auditor has
to go over this list aud strike from il
the names OF those delinquents whose
taxes have been obtained out OF the real
estate purchased from them by some one
else. and on the other hand, the auditor
has to look over the register of deeds
record and see il any OF these remaining
personal tax d~elinquents have returned
or acquired property in the county again
In order to that they may be bounced
upon. As the list Of delinquents ia get
ting to be quite long the work Of looking
them up on all sides is rather a monot-
onous duty.
