COLLECTION Of TAXES;
HOW WORK IS DONE
Tenth Educational Article By the
State Commission.

AS explained in the preceding ar
ticle, the county auditor computes
the rate of levy necessary to pro.
duce the aggregate amount of
money required by the four sepa-
rate taxing authorities, and extends
the tax against each description of
land and each individual assessed
for personal property.
The auditor makes a separate list
for each taxing district of the coun-
ty. showing ownership and descrip-
ton of property, with columns for
the valuation and for the various
items of taxation included in the
total
The tax lists are turned over to
the county treasurer by the auditor
on or before the first Monday in
January of each year, and the
treasurer proceeds to receive and
collect the taxes therein levied.
Treasurer Must Give Notice.
On receiving the tax lists from
the auditor the treasurer, if direct
ed by the county board, is required
to give three weeks published no.
tice in a newspaper, specifying the
rate of taxation for all purposes,
and the amounts raised for each
specific purpose. He may also be
directed by the county board to visit
different places in the county for
the purpose OF receiving taxes.
Personal property taxes become
due and payable on and after the
delivery of the tax lists to the treas
urer, and if not paid before March
l, they become delinquent and a
penalty of 10 per cent is added.
Taxes on real estate also become
due and payable on delivery of the
tax lists to the county treasurer, and
if not paid before June ], a penalty
of 10 per cent is added; and if such
taxes remain unpaid until January
l following, an additional penalty OF
per cent is added.
What the Law Permits.
The law, however, permits the
observation-disclosures prior to June
1, and the remaining one-half any
time prior to November 1, provided
that the taxes charged against any
tract or lot of land exceeds one dol
lar.
Upon payment of any tax, the
treasurer is required to issue his
receipt therefor, showing the name
of the person, the amount and date,
and the land, lot, or other properly
on which the tax was levied, and
the year or years for which such
levy was made.
Assessing Personal Property Tax.
Personal property taxes are as
sessed against the person and not
against the property, while real es-
tate taxes are assessed against the
property and not against the person.
If personal property taxes become
delinquent collection is enforced
against the person assessed by dis
tress and sale of any personal prop
erty he may own, while the collec-
ton of delinquent real estate taxes
is enforced by the sale of the prop
erty assessed.
The next article will explain the
provisions of law relating to the col
lection of delinquent real and per-
sonal property taxes.

be held at the Mankato Theatre.

and very little is now being done at any
of the clubs. Things will probably pick
UP this week in preparation for the mid
die Atlantic states championship tourney
which will be held on the Chevy Chase
links beginning Thursday of next week.
The Washington Country Club is now
getting busy making improvements on
its green. 4 water system has just been
installed which will make this course
one of the prettiest of any of the local
clubs. \ dam has been built at the third
hole with an engine which will pump the
water to every green. thus enabling those
in charge to keep the greens in the best
possible shape. Last year. they were
compelled to depend upon nature, with
the result that during the hot spell the
grass dried up considerably. New greens
at the second and sixth holes have also
been made and it is expected that these
changes will make great difference in
the play.
The Chevy Chase Club has been invited
to enter four men in the annual invitation
tournament of the Allegheny Country
Club of Sewicllley, Pa, which has been
announced for June ). q. and s. but as
the middle Atlantic states championships
will occur on those dates. the club will
probably not avail itself of this privilege.

tween clubs of the Middle Atlantic Golf

Hermitage in the morning and at the
