Tax Deeds Different
from the Tax Bills
Treas. Wilson EXPLAINS


No tax bills for old taxes have
been sent out in this city, except
those for 1921 is the declaration
made by City Treasurer Wilbert 8.
Wilson and this was brought about
by the fact that SO. many folks, not
accustomed to business are confus-
ing the tax deeds which they are re-
ceiving for old taxes with the tax
bills. The tax deed does not call for
payment, but rather calls attention
to the present owner that this deed
in question is upon his property. 1t
is in no way to be construed as a bill
demanding that they be paid.
Irfurther reference to the matter.
Mr.. Wilson explained that his posi-
ton is not to demand payment but
simply to give the information which
is at his Office and the owner can
take such action as they deem ad-
yisable.
Had the city treasurer remained
silent after having made these dis
coveries through compilation OF the
records he could we'll have been
charged with neglect Of duty.
Those receiving the letter about
such facts as have bearing on the
subject, the treasurer is only too
glad to offer his services toward TAX
ing the proper steps and assist in
clearing up the title. Where it de-
velops that the payment should not
be made he declares he would be
pleased to recommend Attachments to
the city government in an endeavor
that justice should be done both to
the individual and the city.
The payment of old bills tend to
deplete the city assets. 1t may We
clearly seen. when it is considered
that these tax deeds have been car
ried along on the books, No extra
revenue is being received by the city
treasurer for this work.
