Gentlemen:-There is today on the
county's records hundreds Of lots upon
Which Trn ! the taxes have not beer paid for
n%on-payment Of these taxes is the cause
OF q good many of our special assess
ments falling to provide enough funds
ten or twenty year period. for which
these assessments were levied, and is
the cause Of the city having to *
some Of the special assessments.
The non-payment Of these taxes there
~ works a hardship on the people who
no pay . Their 'oss t. taxes ;ss and in some cases
IN a great many. cases now the taxes
are more than the value Of the lots.
After investigation, We, your. Ways and
matter be taken up with the members of
the legislature from his district and
urge them to have q law passed requir-
ms IIc COuHIy AuO1lOTS TO sell ali lOLS
n lots that the taxes remain unpaid
for chat length Of time.
This method will automatically keep
the taxes paid up so that the city and
county will be Yin no danger Of losing
special taxes and regular taxes for a
longer period than Ave years. (siEned)
