THE MAJORITY PAY CASH
DON'T USE BARRETT LAW
Records Kept by Treasurer johnson
Show That Richmond Property
Owners Generally Pay Cash on AS
sessments for Improvemen ts.

A majority of the property owners
in Richmond who are assessed for
public improvements do not take adj
vantage of the Barrett law which
gives ten years for the payment, plus
5 per cent This fact is derived from
the records in the office of City Treas
urer Johnson and shows that as COM
pared with other Indiana cities of
like size. there is comparatively
small number of tax payers who re-
sort to the installment plan. In i'm
provements that have been made in
Richmond during the past three
years, more than fifty per cent of the
assessments against property owners
affected has been settled in single
payment, the remainder taking adj
vantage of the Barrett aw
Treasurer Johnson yesterday sent
out notices calling for the payment
of the assessments for the improve
ment of South Twenty-fihst street
from Main to South E streets. The
Improvement consisted of cement
sidewalks. cutters and curbs on both
sides of the street. The total cost
of the Improvement was S4.091. 40.
The city pays s36405 for cross-walks
The balance is paid by twenty-three
property owners affected. The high
est assessment against a single prop
erty owner is s352.29.
