The large number of tax sales in last
weeks issue of The -4.gis, a tirst glance
did not speak well for the prosperity OF
the county It is understood, however,
that in number of cases properties are
being allowed to go to sale Tor the pu:-
pose of pcrfecting titles. and III other
cases parties have simply overlooked
their tax bills Every one should remem-
her that the County Treasurer has no
option in advertising these properties for
sale after a certain time. The law is
mandatory and he must carry out its
strict provisions.
AS our readers are aware, the columns
of The .Egis have lately been seriously
taxed on account of the large amount of
spring advertising. We hope our friends
will bear with us until the rush is over.
1t has ALWAYS been the aim Of The .Egis
to make its news articles the first con-
sideration, but there are times when it is
necessary to curtail space so as to pub
fish advertisements that must go in.
Unfortunately our press Is not SO arrans-
ed to admit of any increase of the size OF
paper, as we are now printing the largest
sheet that the press will accommodate. In
a short while our news columns will
again resume their normal appearance.
