TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN. SATURDAY. APRITi 3, 1920 11 TAX SHORTAGE 54,000,000 MOST SERIOUS CONDITION IX ' HISTORY FACED BY CITY. But Three Days Remain In Which First" Half or Annual Dues May Be Paid Sheriff. Multnomah county faces the most serious condition in its history so far as taxes are concerned unless prop erty owners mail or take a veritable avalanche of checke and currency to the tax department of Sheriff Hurl burt's office by Monday night. With but three days remaining in which the first half of the annual taxes may be paid, a delinquency of $4,000,000 was faced yesterday, which is by far a greater delinquency than ver before at this period of tax pay ing time. Of the $12,000,000 due in taxes this year, one-half must be paid by Mon day if It is not to become delinquent, and figures given out yesterday at the sheriff's office showed that but 2,160,000 had been collected up to yesterday noon. A long line of property owners was at the cashier's window all day yes terday and each mail brought hun dreds . of checks, but despite the money being received officials of the department say that the delinquen cies for the first half will be far greater than ever before unless the unexpected happens and an extraor dinary amount of money is received during the next three days.
