Treasurer Falconer: I notice a
county official at Fargo says the
treasurer of Burleigh county is wrong
in his recent statement that 5 per cent
penalty attaches to delinquent per-
sonal property taxes and 8 per cent to
real property February 1. The law
provides for these penalties. The
law states that 5 per, cent penalty shall
attach to delinquent personal prop
erty taxes February 1, and / per cent
a month thereafter until the property
goes into the sherif's hands. Three
per cent penalty attaches to real
property taxes February j, 3 per cent
March !, 8 per cent June / and 5 per
cent November 1.

acres of Northern Pacific lands in
Morton, Mercer and Oliver counties

where they had been paying taxes on
syndicate lands, and are in Mandan
today on a like mission. OF the tract
bought last summer these gentlemen
report having resold upwards of 2OO,-
600 acres. Among the lands owned
by this syndicate are some of the
choicest in the west Missouri country,
and they are being settled up by a
thrifty class of farmers who will en-
gage in mixed farming.
