DELINQUENT TAXES

1t is just the right time now for
the property owners of the State OF
Washington to familiarize thsmsel-
YES with the provisions of the new
law governing delinquent taxes which
was passed by the recent legislature.
This is taxpaying time for those who
have the money to pay cash. and
those who haven't the cash will be
glad to know that the rate of inter-
est on delinquent taxes has been re-
duced from / 5 to IL per cent, and
that, under the new law, three years
taxes must be delinquent and unpaid
before property can be sold for taxes.
Meanwhile the counties have the OPP
ton of holding the certificates of de-
linquency or selling to the specu-
lators. If the county doesn't have to
have the cash, it will benefit by re-
ceiving the interest. When certificates
of delinquency are held either by the
county or in private hands, the owner
is not required to make payment in
full to prevent sale. For example, if
three years taxes are due, the owner
can still hold title by payment of one
years taxes. The new law is gem
orally designed to lessen speculation
in certificates of delinquency and to
make it easier to own property in the
state. 1t doesn't reduce taxation, how
ever: that is something the taxpayers
will have to do themselves, if they
ever find time to get together on it.

THE PROOF

The winter treated Whatcom Coun-
ty most kindly. as the report of the
deposits in the various banks last
week testifies. A gain of 100000
since November is an encouraging
item for the rural communities.
The bulk of the gain was made in
the Lynden and Ferndale districts,
as a result of the high prices paid for
dairy products. and farm crops this
winter.
