TAX ASSESSOR
 URGES STUDY OF DELINQUENT ROLL

Each owner of property lo- cated within the bounds of the Palmer Independent School Dis triet and City of Palmer should go over the delinquent tax roll which appears elsewhere in this
 aper, according to William Wakeland, tax assessor or-collector, Wakeland emphasized this pro- perty owners should scan the list parcel by parcel, rather than by the individuals name. Nor tgage holders and contract sell CTS should pay particular atten- ton to the list, he said. "The name of the party assessed may not, and need not, be correct the tax is against the property, i, he pointed out. If not paid in full before the final sale, the. parcel will be sold for the remaining taxes, plus costs, he said.
 Metes and bounds property is now being described in a new, more accurate method than used previously, he said. For exam pie, N22, S40O, No. 570, w 600 NWA NWM means: the north 200 feet Of the south 400 feet, of the east 570 feet of the west 600 feet in the NWA lnorthwest quarter) of the NWM. This shows, he explained, that the parcel is 200 feet by 570 feet in size, and lies 200 feet north of the south boundry, and 30 feet east of the west boundry of the NWA of the NWM of whatever section, township, and range named.
 If the tax is paid in whole or in part during the current five week publication, the listing can not be stricken from the pub 1ished roll.
 Those now paying delinquent taxes in installments into the special account are not credited with such payments on the pub lished roll.
 After being published five weeks, there will be a delay of at least 30 days before the Court hearing on the roll When the court passes on the roll, a new list will be published of the re- maining delinqueneies, along with the Courts official order of sale, Wakeland explained. This publication will again be run for at least four weeks.
 Property owners therefore have at least 13 weeks in which to pay these delinquencies-- they may be paid up to the day of the sale. However, he pointed out, each months delay will in- cur another one percent interest, and at the Court hearing more costs will be assessed The final publication will cost approxi- mately another $400 per line.
 Wakeland said that holders of; property named on the roll are urged to start paying on their accounts at once. Each line as published may be paid separate ly, or in some cases we can ac- cept lesser amounts paid into a special account, he said.
 Personal property does not ap- pear on the published delinquent roll. These will be collected through a civil action in Com missioner's Court, or paid from proceeds of the sale price in ex- cess of the real property taxes and costs.
