COUNTY NOT TO COMPROMISE WITH BANKERS fill state banks which have been dUly dallying along about payment of 1927 and 1928 taxes have a chance of learning a new lesson la what interest really is. Up to now around 17 per cent Interest In due on the books ot the tax collector's office on the 1927 unpaid taxes and per cent due on the first half of the 1928 roll, unless it is ascertained by some sort 4f court procedure that these banks do not owe the county the money at all. Taxes become delinquent at the rate of 1 per cent a month after No vember 5 of the collection year. Some $10,000 In taxes are unpaid by the six state banks, part of this for 1927 and part for 1928. It has developed that at the se cret meeting between three bankers who represented three banks in the unpaid list and the county court held Wednesday morning there was some rather indirect talk about a suit on the part of the bankers and that members of the county court intimated that the matter wasn't up to the court at all, that the taxes were on the tax roll, and as far as the court knew they were due and owing and that any sort of a com promise on the amount was not within the power of the court to enter into if It wished. The matter was left simply In that position that it was up to the bankers to pay unless they could show by some action in court that the money isn't due and owing to the county and it Is known that the last thing that some ot the bankers want to do Is to start a court action because of the appear ance of the thing to the people over the county. It Is a pretty safe guess to say right now that the county court isn't in any mood to effect any sort of a compromise with the bankers by cutting down a percentage of the taxes as was done in some counties. The court (eels that It has no authority to take such action until directed to do so by some other court of competent Jurisdiction and then probably It would haw to go to the sujnenie court to be finally determined. So there the matter stands with the I per cent a month.
