IN TAX PAYMENT
AS QUARTER ENDS
The second quarterly payment of
taxes, closed Saturday, with light
receipts due to most of the taxpayers
making half or full year payment
previously, according to the tax col
lection department of the sheriff's
office. Heaviest payment was a check
for $30,650 from the California Ore
gon Power company.
Delinquent tax payments continue
"brisk,", according to tax collection
department aides. Under the liberal
provisions of a new law, which went
into effect June 12, property owners
are given until July 15 to make a 10
per cent payment to the sheriff, and
secure a six month's extension ol
time, to save property from fore
closure, now listed as delinquent-
Many are taking advantage of the
new law.
Reports Indicate that a large num
ber of property holders do not un
derstand the provisions of the new
law, and It easy payment privi
leges. All such whose land la now
being foreclosed, are urged to confer
with the district attorney or sheriff,
so the law can be fully explained
to them.
Final decree could have been taken
April 4, last but action has been de
ferred to permit property owners to
make the 10 per cent payment, and
save their property from foreclosure.
"No redemption la possible, under
the new law, after the decree is
entered," District Attornev Georee
A. Codding said today. "It ls planned
to have the decrees entered July 15.
Anyone desiring to stop the fore
closure. Insofar as It affects their
property, should consult the sherlfi
or district attorney before that date.'
