3" " mQ.F0RIL3IATTL.TRIBUyEt , fl?D FORD,, OREGON, TUESDAY, . NOVEMBER ..20,. .1923 PAOE THREE -ttSK IS CUT TO 5 PER CENT h:' ' ' A'vJeW of fhe delinquent laves and assessment situation and tho progress being made, by the city In clearing It up, is Bet forth In a report to .the city council by City Attorney John H. Cfti'kln, as follows: ; "When this work was undertaken some three years ago there was de linquent Kpproximjitely $120,000 in county and Btate taxes on property iigninnt which the city had delinquent assessments and there was a total of 2266; lota with delinquent taxes of from one to ten years. While not all . of these were on pavement, yet the majority were and when we consider that there were but between 4000 and 6000 lots oriKinally paved, one can readily see that at the time the ex- . . tended payment plan -wai, proposed some five oi six years ago that there was a delinquency of nearly 50 per cent. "Dye to campaigns on the part of the city to get the. property owners tn 'pay up 'the taxes, a part of this $ 1 2 f . 0 0 0 of county tax del'.nquency was paid up at .Jacksonville without 'jreuirlns tho city to take over the i de linquent properties at tax si'.ios. "However, out of theso 2268 lots it l(was necessary to take over about one- third of them at, the county tax sales .three year ago. -Of the approximately ,00 that the city had to take over from, tho county. at that, time the ma ll jbrlty wer on paving. , All of those on 'Jpaviiig, howevr, have been redeemed -or straighten',-! up by the original 'owners or disposed of to the legion boys, .with the exception of approxi mately one hundred. 1 r "Thua, so far as the lots' on paving "are concerned as against the delin quency ot over 2200 lots to, start with -we now have title to only some ' one .hundred In other words t nearly he pei rent delinquency has feev re duced to something leis than S per cent. I believe this is a renarVtHble showing and one of whkh iie ci ti ters can well be proud. "In connection will: the vne hun dred or so lois to which the vlty has lile there remain uov; bat oco thins to do, to hold a sale .and tiosa them ur at 'an 'early data .or to let tht peo-t pie pirchase them 'rom, time tn tlm &b th demand for building ota rc : qulr. To do the former ould cloaol all oi" the peved lots taken r-ver trcin tho county probably by the l rat of the year: to du the latter would pes-1 sibly require a year to dispose cf the balance. In this coinecrior I would so ihwn URuLU TO PAY OFF THEIR ASSESSMENT Mayor 13.

P'i-J of Improvement .bonds mund for paved lots for building;, that Rnd vnis year ' Mayor -'Gaddls hopes the remaining lots when soUl should not be sold at too great a sacrifice. "I have no't taken up the mattor of the lots off paving. The city has on its hands as you know a number bf them, in fact sufficient probably to accommodate the doubling of bur present population without extending our city limits, but inasmuch as there Is a total of only 139,000 of delinquent indebtedness against all bf the un paved lots they do not constitute ' a real factor in the straightening up of city assessments. "Further, I am not taking up the 700 or 800 lots, most of vliich signed up under the new plan, and hiive one or more Installments bf city assess ments delinquent, although these are requiring a greater part of the time of that at least 1100.000 will be paid off. This amount can be 'paid off in the mayor's opinion, if 'the citizens eo operate properly with the city toward this end.-' . The notice Is in part as follows: "When our. paving, sewer and water mnins were laid during 1909. 1910 and 1911, !t wi on tho basis that they v-.uld be- paid for within ten years, out (Jverse war conditions caused the auction of the1 present extended pay ment plan, .-which gives addltlona' time to those who signed by this nmv plat;'. .
