That pheasants are not prone to

ten under divers conditions, but the
latest exhibition of this loyalty to
eggs and young was shown quite
conclusively in the fire which oc-
Cured northeast Of Long Lake on
Old highway No. 4, week ago last
Sunday.
The fire started in a swamp and
spread rapidly and continued to
rage for sometime. After time it
was noticed that pheasants were
fiying about with their tails afire.
Investigation revealed that these
birds had been on nests. They few
to other sections and started new
fires.
AS a matter of conservation it is
not profitable to do spring burning,
for this destroys not only pheasants
nests but also other game birds and
song birds eggs are destroyed.
It is also stated that the ashes on
burned land when covered with
rain form an acid which prevents
vegetation from growing satisfac-
torily for at least year.
In this connection it might be
stated that April 23rd to May 9Th
has been set aside as Conservation

Relief Given Property Owners
Who Are Delinquent In
Their Payments

The Legislature has passed sew
eral laws relating to taxes which
will be of interest to the public and
which changes the time, manner
and amount Of payment in several
instances. The following is a brief
outline Of such laws and points out
the principal provisions:
Chapter 121
The tax of 1892, which is the cur
rent tax payable this year, must be
paid one-half prior to June LIST, or
800 penalty on such half is charg-
ed thereon and an additional pen
atty of 10 on the first day Of each
month thereafter UP to and includ-
ing November LIST. If the second
half is not paid before November
LIST, it then takes penalty Of 800.
Chapter SO
The taxes of 1881, which were
payable in 1882, will not be sold
this year and can be paid without
penalty or interest or costs in in
stallments Of $3.50 each, but one
half Of such tax must be paid be-
fore January LIST, 1884, or penal
ty of 1920 is charged on the whole
amount then remaining unpaid;
however, if one-half Of the tax is
paid before January LIST, 1884, no
penalty is added and the balance
can be spread over four INSTALL
ments payable during 1884, but If
any part of the tax still remain un-
paid January LIST, 1885, another
1870 penalty is added thereto. The
tax sale for the 1881 tax has been
postponed to the second Monday
in May, 1885.
Where taxes have been standing
for some time bargain prices are
offered in order to induce payment
and thus furnish money to operate

legislature Passes Several

the various governmental subdi-
visions and also to enable property
owners to save their real estate.
Chapter 414
If the taxes have not been sold
to private purchasers or If the
lands have not been forfeited to
the State or title perfected in the
State, then beginning July LIST and
continuing to December 1st, 1884,
If the taxes of 1929 or 1880 are de-
linquent, and are held by the State
payment thereof and all subsequent
taxes can be made for four-fifths Of
the original amount without penal
ties or interest. If the taxes Of
1927 or 1928 are so delinquent then
the proportionate amount required
is four-fifths, and for 1925, one-haf.
Beginning on the second Monday
in August and continuing until De-
cember 81, the sale Of all taxes so
held by the State for the years 1925
and prior years will be held and
taxes Of 1922 and prior years can
be bought for one-fifth Of the
amount originally levied and assess
ed against the property; for 1928
and 1924 for one-third; for 1925, one
half. A1l subsequent taxes can be
paid for the same proportion as
that of the earliest tax. For in
stance, If the taxes Of 1922 were
unpaid, then anyone purchasing the
tax Of 1922 could pay all later taxes
at one-fifth of the original amount
without penalties or interest. If
paid before January 1, 1884, a re-
duction Of 1870 Of the amount 9TH
erwise required, will be allowed.
Chapter 4O7
Where lands have been forfeited
to the State for the taxes of 1926 or
1927, an option has been granted to
the former owner to repurchase the
said lands for one-half the original
amount of the taxes with interest
thereon at 40 per annum.
This is certainly a great induce
ment and should enable property
owners to clear their lands Of all
tax liens.
