The tax record of Barnes county for
taxes for the year 1915 is remarkable
as regards the amount Of delinquent
taxes and other features cleaned from
the records in the office of the county
auditor. The taxes referred to are for
real estate.
The total levy for 1915 was $527,
227.11. The delinquent tax list just
published amounted to $16,223.04. This
shows paid up taxes amounting to
SSH, 0O4.O7.
In all Of Barnes county there are but
two quarter sections that are carrying
two years Of back taxes.
Seven particular townships, viz: Al
ia, Eckelson, Edna, Getchell, Green,
Nelson and Norma, have a clean slate
with no delinquent taxes.
And what of the $16,223.04 delin-
quent taxes?
By the time of the sale there will be
practically nothing to it. Do you sup
pose Barnes county land is going to be
passed along and change hands by tax
title? Hardly. The present high prices
of farm products and the producing
qualities of Barnes county lands make
them too valuable to be disposed or eX-
cept by sale at an advantageous con-
sideration.
We believe we can positively state
that no other county in the state can
make comparative statement in this
respect that will come anywhere near
to equalling or approaching Barnes
county. The fact that such condi-
tion exists is credit to the land own
ers, the county officials and Barnes
county as whole,
