Real Estate Tax
Bills Received Here

Bluffton residents were receiving
bills Wednesday along with others of
the $4,000 Allen county property
owners for real estate tax bills for
the second half of 1854 covering
taxes for the second half of 1859.
These bills represent more than
$1,350,000 due in current real estate
taxes, special assessments and de-
linquent back taxes. This amount
is slightly less than half the total
due at the beginning of the year, as
some people paid their full bill when
the first half amount was due.
Books for the second half will
close July II, according to Ray w.
Barnett, county treasurer. Taxes
unpaid by that date. becom e
delinquent.

Aaron B. Murray has announced.
