ITO assume 100 per & u tax COL
lections on the 1881 rolls under
present conditions seems lack OF
foresight" County Auditor II. M.
Shelton. Sr.. states in a written
communication to the commission
ers' court filed Tuesday.
This statement was handed the
court Just prior to its ordering a
tax rate OF $50 based on the as
sumption Of 100 per cent collec-
tions.
His communication continued
within the past 10 years the ex-
perience OF this county has been
that for but two years during said
period current taxes plus delinquent
collected aggregated an amount
equal to 100 per cent the current
tax ROLAND these two years were
both prosperous years for the VAL
ley.
The $4,000. 900 road bond series
has been sold except S6l4.000. of
which amount $4,000 Is still
pledged In the county's sinking
funds. and must be provided for BY
sufficient tax levies. An 80 cent
sinking fund levy as contemplated
by the court for these bonds will
be far short OF the actual require
ments and bring the county to the
brink OF default, perhaps beyond,
and completely upset the county's
credit
The county auditor also set out
lengthy figures and facts support
ing his contfati that the tax
rate should be approximately 81
instead OF the $50 passed by the
court.
