Map Making Is a Big Worry, Not Much Fun, Say NYA Workers

Lend an aspirin to National Youth Administration Project 12-1106! : There! It feels better, and can tell you what is giving it galloping headaches. : Plat maps. Used graveyards. Jogs in county roads. And old secondhand schoolhuses. This project, under the supervision of LeRoy Roberts, is engaged, in its offices at Ohio-st and Senateav, in making township maps showing the tract owners’ names, acreage, assessed valuation of property, assessed valuation of improvements

To ‘do this, the project has had

| employes copying the county tract

books and tax duplicates and send'ing in the information used in the

maps. From these county tract books, which are used for the comparatively important purpose of taxation bases, come the headaches. In many townships, for instance, the records now in possession of the project show two people paying taxes on the same land, and in other instances, no persons paying taxes /on certain lands.

In one township, one man and his

books and tax duplicates as paying taxes on 87 acres of farm land. Another man and his wife are listed on the same tax duplicate as paying on the same land, and i el even a footnote to tell which of the two couples is farming it, or if they know each other socially. Then there is the matter of coun{y roads. Ever notice how they jog, or have “frogs” in them? That cam= about this way, according to. Mr. Roberts.

Years ago when they were no

agreed to set aside some of their land for roads. Occasionally a farmer would balk, however, and then his neighbor, if he wanted the road badly enough, would have to give land for all of it. So the road, coming down a section strip where farmers had gone fifty-fifty on it, would have to jog over. Thus the road would, for the next section, be all on the land .of the generous farmer. Well, taxes still are paid by the heirs of those generous farmers on

the land they gave, but still: own,

the wise guys who wouldn’t join the plot pay none, but use the roads. As for graveyards and schoolhouses! It happened that often Jandowners would give bits of land

to be used for schoolhouses. This land would be taken off the tax
