SINCE the tax rate was fixed o.
"a for this year it has often been
remarked that the rate of per cent
would not lower 10 Graham coun
ty even if the tax roll reached
s4,O0O,OOO, and the Board of Sup
ervisors seemed to be blamed
This is a mistaken idea for the
Board is really more interested
than anyone else in lessening the
tax rate, in fact this proposition
was seriously discussed when the
rate was fixed but it was found i'm
possible to reduce it for several
reasons, over which the Board have
no control, chief among them
the heavy delinquent list from last
wear. Then there are bonds fall
ing due that must be paid, debts
that were created in the early
history of the county and the
greatly increased expenses of the
last two terms of court. Although
the the tax collector, B. b. Adams
exerted himself to the utmost and
collected a large amount of de-
linquent taxes, yet for all this an
enormous amount is still outstand.
ing which is the direct result OF
the fool law passed by the 10th
legislature repeating the law Civ
iag legal service to delinquents
through publication. As soon as
ere law was passed some OF the
best lawyers in the Territory said
this would be the result and 1T is
now being plainly felt in Graham
county. People will notbuy prop.
erty from the territory without
good title and there are people
who never will pay taxes so long
as there is no immediate danger OF
their property being sold.
