WANTS TO KNOW.
To tii Eimtoh: The people of Dover
would like to ask a question through your
valuable paper in regard to collecting de
linquent laves, and as some parlies are as
much Interested In the collection as we are
In the payment, they will probably give us
a satisfactory answer. On June liUh 8. E.
New called at the sheriffs oHio to pay his
tax which had become delinquent. He
was accompanied by myself. Mr. Hackeit,
deputy in the olllce, looking over the books
told Mr. New that his taxes, school and nil
included, wereJJO.10, mileage f.VS0, and cost
of advertising fc!.tX, making f HUM. Al Mr.
New had only $M..V he came back home
carrying that amount with him. Then, he
understating that the order for sale had
been postponed until July 14th, came to
me on July 8th or IMh to get me to write to
the present sheritf to see what would be his
taxes at thut time, thinking that there
might be more cost added. What was his
surprise on receiving a letter on the very
day his place was soid, stating that his
taxes, including costs and all is $11. 40, but
of course after sale it will be more, and
signed K. C. Maddock by his deputy. Now
you see, Mr. New, who is a poor man could
have paid all at first if things had been
properly stated. As it is his place was sold
and the people would like to know where
the f5.40 would have gone to? Casskht.
