Taxes rolled into the. sheriff’s
office the last of the past week and
the first o f this until Sheriff C. C.
Wilson estimates that approxi­
mately a half o t the entire roll has
been collected during the first
quarter. This means that $100.000
will be in thrOoffers of the county.
While many local land owners
and personal property owners have
taken advantage of the opportu­
nity to save three percent on their
tax bill for the year the corpora­
tions who do business in the coun­
ty have practically all followed the
