Senate bill 65, Murphy ., governing
liens for taxes. and interest and penalty
on real estate tax sold, came upon third
reading. ,.+. II 3. D.: /. 5s $S Ss.5.
~ Mr.. Hale opposed the bill. He called
attention to the fact that it reduced the
rate of interest on taxes sold from,tWc
per cent a month to one per cent. aThe
state was now passing through a period
of financial need, through non payment
of taxes in part. His experience led him
Qbelieve that heavy penalties were nee
essary to induce 5prompt payment { aoi
taxes Low interest rates had been trieo
in the state once, with a result thai
would be erecalled. He did not believe
the state could afford to repeat the ex
pertinent. # e: y: d ,5s> Y Il II
Mr.. Murphy, in support of the bill
said that conditions had changed, ane
that for the past few years taxes hae
been generally purchased. There .hae
been sharp competition. He belieyec
the number Of buyers would be ampl,
sufficient under the reduced rate of in
terest. The6ol rate was % per cent, in
Guiding penalty. The proposed rate Was
II per cent. He believed that was
enough, especially as he had presented {
bill today To provide for the securing q
purchasers in case sales for taxes wer:
voided for any reason. He said the pur
chases were made largely BY person.
aud firms outside the state to- whom th,
large rate Of interest was paid. III
thought II per cent enough for ontsid,
purchasers and that 1t would lessen th,
burden in the state. n.
Mr.. Wolbert said he'd like to hav.
rome one explain to him how the bank
ana purchasing interests il the stat,
happened to let % per cent snaps ge
& away from them, and 60 to outsiders
"a He was ii favor sof the old law.
The bill passed 81 to 5.
