BAY CITY TAXES.
a Clean Up On Non-Taxpaying Properly
Coming.

Six townships in Bay county have
not single description on which there
are back taxes for FIVE years or more
The appraisers of tax lands, appointed
several months ago by State Land
Commissioner Wildey, have completed
their work, and it is expected that the
clearance sale" under the special act
will be held within a short time In
the Bay Cities the conditions are not
SO favorable. About 10 per cent of
the assessed valuation in Bay City does
not pay taxes, while nearly one-third
OF the descriptions are non-productive
OF taxes The reason for the large per-
centage is the abandonment of sawmill
and other property years ago when
lumber gave out. AS a result much of
this property has more back taxes
against it than it is worth 1t is ex-
pected that through the clearance
sale at least S250.000 in assessed val
uation will be put back on the rolls
at once. The appraisers prices run
from % tc 90 nor cent of the actual
value.

did, going east on train 81. but ne
might as well have remained at Rome.
for he arrived at the hall in Sedgwick

were concluded. He was subjected to
a good deal of chatting. but was finally
allowed to explain matters by saying
that he had gone into the library to
sit until train time. and while sitting
there, got to thinking. and so fell
asleep. Al 4 o'clock he awakened. but
