GHOST FARMS
Give ASSESSOR
TAX PROBLEM
Tracts Abandoned in West
ern Bartholomew
County.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
COLUMBUS, Ind, Jan. Is. -
"Ghost farms" in the western part
of Bartholomew County present a
problem to County Assessor Alonzo
B. Coons.
Nobody will claim the farms, so
no taxes are paid on them. The
county can, in such cases take pos
session of the land, but every tract
it takes cuts into assessed valua-
ton which in turn lowers the
amount of taxes collected.
Recently the assessor inspected a
number of the ownerless farms and
found that some had good build
ings, but for various reasons their
tenants had uncermoniously left.
Land in the western part Of the
county is not as productive as in
other sections, which operated to
make more difficult the task of
profitable farming.
Some Of the land now abandoned
was bought in the boom period fol-
lowing the World War, prices paid
being SO high that buyers were I'M
able to make the land pay anything
like a reasonable return on their in
veStments.
