The delinquency compared as a
5 per cent delinquency this year as
compared with 80 year ago. The

tax commission raising the assessed
valuation of grazing land from $500
to $500 an acre. Until a decision
is handed down no part OF the graz
ing fees can be collected.

qucncy is given that no action has
vet been taken by the county at

taxes for the first three months III
