Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers. The delinqent taxes of Wasco county, as shown on the rolls now in the hands of the sheriff are 160,000. an amount al most equal to the indebtedness of the county. Every citizen will doubtless admit that this state of affairs should not exist, and that all taxes should be collected. On account of hard timee in the past the county court Las shown lenieucy to taxpayere, but that leniency has reached the limit, and the court cannot wait longer on delinquents to make settlements. For this reason a warrant has been attached to each de linquent roll commanding the eheriff to collect all taxes by seizure and sale of property. With a bountiful crop now in sight, there can no longer bo any rea sonable excuse for the non-payment of taxes. The eheriff is bound by oath to comply with the terms of the warrants attached to the tax rolls for the collec tion thereof, and has no option in the matter. Delinquent taxpayers can eave the cost of seizure and sale of property by eettling their taxes at once. Robert Keei.y, Sheriff and Tax Collector lor WaECO County. Dated, August 4, 1898.
