lnRedwood County; BrookvilleL Leads
SwedeS Forest Shows Best
Record OF Recovery
In Tax Index
Sherman Township and Lucan
And Morgan Villages
Among Leaders

The percentage of tax delin-
quency in any community is fire.
quently taken as quite accurate
index of the financial conditions
within that area. On this basis
Redwood county has seen decid-
ed improvement in the last year
and is not a great distance from
normal.
Where 1923 per cent of taxes
payable in 1884 were delinquent
November 1 last year, this year
$3.50 per cent of the taxes were
paid on that date with many COM
munities showing larger gains.
Figures prepared on request of
The Gazette at the office of A. P.
Falk, county treasurer, show that
Brookville township continues to
hold first place in percentage of
taxes paid. This year only LOG
per cent of all levies, including
special assessments, are delin-
quent there.
Sherman township, with SO per
cent of it's taxes settled, is in Sec
end place with Shutdown third and
Vesta township fourth, while
Swedes Forest made the greatest
gain. Lucan leads the villages
with 96.87 per cent paid while
Morgan is close second. Red
wood Falls is above the average
of the county with 91.83 per cent
paid.
The total taxes last year were
Sill, 1885 of which 1921 ,048.49
was paid November / while taxes
payable this year totalled $685.
408.62 and $601 ,885.87 were paid
by November /.
Redwood county poorest year IN
tax payments was 1882 when
1892 per cent of the 1881 taxes
were paid by November 1. In
1888 lower taxes and slightly bet
ter times brought the percentage
to 1888 and it has improved each
year since.
