flee Of the city treasurer that the list
OF delinquents for the 1908 tax is beinl
made up and will be completed and turned
over to the sheriff Of Douglas county
September l.. The sheriff will sell thc
property so listed for taxes. The list oil
~delinquents Is much smaller this year thar
previously. The treasurer reports having
collected over IS per cent Of the taxes FOL
the year. The law c~ontemplates that &
probable delinquency Of 10 per cent will
occur. Accordingly, the city treasurer
should collect about 1872. 900 annually. But
as an actual fact over s1s5,OoO has beer
collected. 1t is expected that 2 per cent
more Of the ]delinquents will pay before
allowing their property to be sold for taxes
This will leave about 8 per sent of the
property owners Of South Omaha who will
allow their property to be sold for taxes.
This is considered by the city treasurer
to be a remarkable showing. It In his
opinion. indicates much general prosperity.
The personal list is somewhat more in ar
rears than the realty.
The city treasurer has adopted the
method Of notifying all the principal de-
linQuents of their shortages. This will have
the effect OF clearing up a large part Of
the present delinquencies.
The 1909 tax lists are progressing rapidly
and soon the books will be completed for
the coming year. The collection for next
year begins October L
