Under last years law man pay
ing half his taxes on time as re-
lieved of any penalty This year,
however, he must pay per cent on
the balance for the privilege of oh

Personal taxes are collected by the
assessor.
Firts payments of one-half are col

The new provision of the tax law
by the last session of the legislature
which permits semi-annual tax pay
ments, under which the first semi
annual installment must be paid be-
fore the second Monday in January
orbecomes delinquent provides for
the. payment Of interest at that time
for the privilege of Obtaining time
on the second installment.
If a mans taxes are 500, and he
pays $50 before the first Monday in
January, per cent is added max
ing $50 which can be paid before
the fist Monday in July. If not paid
before the first Monday in July 6
per cent more on the original $50 is
added, making the total $55. On
the secon dMonday in July, this $55
delinquent tax Is turned over to the
county auditor, and cannot be re-
deemed by anyone until after the
fourth Monday in July. Any time
after the fourth Monday in July the
$55 delinquent tax is subject to re-
demption or assignment by paying
the county auditor the $55 plus one
and one-half per cent per month from
the second. Monday in January.
Bear in mind that in the first place
on the first Monday in January the
tax was $50, when a penalty of 4
per cent and per cent was added,
which brings you up to the fourth
Monday in July, and in top of all
that you must pay interest at one
and one-half per cent from the sec
ond Mondty in January.
Now take the same tax of a man
that is less fortunate. The 500 is
delinquent on the first Monday in
January when penalty of 10 per
cent is added making the total $110
On the second Monday it is turned
over to the county auditor as grantee

anyone until the fourth Monday In
