The new North-west., 1896-12-11

This work has been done by J. r.
board of county commissioners. The
original contract, made in December last,
called for full and correct list of all
taxable real property that had escaped
taxation for the years 1890 to 1895, inclu
sive, and as compensation for preparing
such list the county was to pay Markley
Il Co. a sum equal to one-half of the
taxes collected from such list, the county
not to be liable under the contract, and
no payment to be made, except as the
taxes were collected.
After the list had been prepared and
submitted to the board, the question arose
as to whom the several tracts should be
assessed, and Mr.. Markley was ready with
the suggestion that the county should
have prepared "Present Ownership"
book, which he would make if the board
would consent to the cancellation of the
existing contract and enter into a new
one that would be a modification of the
old one. Under the circumstances, the
board thought this the best thing to do,
and made a new contract with J. r..
Markley & Co., by which the company
was to furnish not only the list above
mentioned but also compile a present
ownership book, such as has just been
completed.
As compensation, Markley & Co. were
to receive 13 mills on the valuation of
the property for each year on which
taxes were collected. There was to be
advanced to the company the sum of 49,
900 as soon as the present ownership
book was completed, and this amount to
be retained by the county from the com
pensation allowed under the contract;
the county not to be liable for any pay
ment, except the $4,000, only az the
taxes were collected.
Should the entire amount of taxes, as
shown by the list, be collected, the county
will turn over to the the state, school
districts and cities the sum of S., ,474.77,
leaving $11 1,99O.04 to be credited to the
county and road funds. Markley & Co.'s
compensation Of 13 mills, on valuation
of $952.255, would be $12,379.31, or $780,
81 more than the county will have re-
ceived after having furnished all the
books and been to the expense of the
collection. The county will have the
present ownership books as the only ben,
efit but is out for them the sum
of $4,000 until Markley & Co.'s compen-
sation by tax collection reaches that sum.
Under the old contract, had all the
taxes been collected, Markley & Co.
would have received but $7,68291, and
the county would have had 81, ,G9G.91 with
which to buy present Ownership" books
or something equally as valuable.
The board have evidently been over
reached and imposed upon by adopts at
their business, who gave employment to
no citizens of the county, and to but one
or two who were residents of the state.
There is talk of starting two more daily

causes delay by not being thoroughly

the fire. BY the new system no TWO

that if the strokes are rightly counted
