from a statewide survey made by the state ,tax coinmission,
atf what is true of Union; county is true also of other couiv
tie jjj the stated although, some are. doing better than others.

iU 0itizeps,wljo a.yenr or so ago were wondering, whether it
would be wiser-to let the comity take the property, have
shai-ply reversed their positions and are beginning to reduce
their .delinquencies..,, With, a brighten future assured, their
properties are becoming more valuable to them, and .mahy
a home that was precariously near loss, will bo restored to
a tax-debt free position.
Truly, it is a cheerful sign. For when people, with re
newed confidence, begin to think more of keeping their
homes than of vague doubts whether it's all worth while,
then the entire country: is bound to prosper. ; Because every
dollar in back taxes that is paid, up, is split among the county,
the state, the schools and the
into their financial channels.
