The tax roll for 1892 now in the
hands Of County Clerk Jones foots
up i'll valuation to S6o3, 3,aI3.63.
The levy being % mills makes a
total tax ofSI5,25o. so, about 81 900
of which will go to the funds for
county purposes. Mr.. Jones in
forms us that considerable property
owned by parties at Corvallis, and
situated in Lincoln county has been
omitted from the roll, which would
| add about 81 900 more TO the amount
of tax. This will probably be cor
rected upon the proper demands.
Mr.. Jones while III Corvallis last
week, also examined the delinquent
rolls in which Lincoln county is
interested and states that he esti.
mates that Lincoln's portion oI
those taxes, which run back &c
1889, will amount to about $1,000
outside Of the delinquent railroad
taxes. OF course portion Of these
taxes are uncollectable, but Will
the effort that we are assured Sher
iG Lands will make, much Of then
viii be saved to Lincoln county
The collection Of these two take
will place the county in a very fav
orable financial attitude, and vii
make light levy Of taxes possibl
until such time as the county Sc.
