Compiling Delinguent Tax List. Deputy Sheriff Oris Crawford is at work making up the delinquent tax list ready for publication which he expects will be early in November with the date of sale about December 20. The delin quent list for this year will amount to about $9,900 while that for last year was a little over $5,000. Most of the delin quents are persons who paid half of their taxes last spring, and have forgotton or for some other cause have failed to pay the other half. Ashland has the greatest number of delinquents and Roxey pre cinct has none at all and is the banner precinct of the county as it was last year, the farmers of that section evidently being very prosperous.
