Delinquent Tax
List Published
In This Issue
Number In Arrears Much
Smaller Than In Recent
Years-Sale In April

In this issue of The Sentinel
appears the list of current delin-
quent taxes for Montgomery
county. The list this year includes
not only arrearages on the county
books but the delinquents of incor-
porated towns as well. This was
provided at the last session of
the General Assembly. Instead of
each township advertising sepa-
rately the list Of local arrearages,
the law provides that the treasurer
of Montgomery county shall act
for the incorporated towns at the
same time and in the same manner
in which delinquent county taxes
are collected.
County Treasurer John B. Dia-
mond and his staff have been
working for weeks preparing the
lists. The total is about half as
large as the 1943 list and much less
than half the high mark back in
1888 and 1884.
The list will be published for four
weeks. By a special resolution, the
Board of County Commissioners di-
rected that the list be advertised in
each newspaper published in Mont
gomery county. The treasurer i
authorized to select two newspap-
ers and, in their discretion, the
Commissioners may authorize pub
iication in one or more papers
Properties advertised will be sold
on the second Monday of April
1914, unless paid on or before that
day.
Property sold for delinquent
taxes can be redeemed at any tims
within two years of the date sold
