Z. 81 In reply t. Your recent editorial
III Wake County Finances. YOU write as
follows:
The Wake county tax payers would
also like 10 ask the Forsyth editor what
has become of the money heretofore paid
by the sheriff Of Wake on the unlisted
property and property listed by the
sheriff. Last year it amounted 10 some
thing like 5000. In tn" recent state
mcnt taken from the records of the
board Of the settlement With Sheriff
Jones there is no amount given from this
source
If YOU Will carefully read the debit
