ALL the Road and Bridge Tax and ONE-HALF of all other taxes make the FIRST INSTALLMENT and must be paid on or before the THIRD Monday in April, 1896. ONE-HALF of all taww, except Road and Bridge, constitute the SECOND INSTALLMENT, pnd must be paid on or before the FIRST Monday yi November, 1896. Failure to pay the First Installment when due makes both installments delinquent and attaches a penalty of ten per cent, to the full amount. The conditions prevailing are such that the Treasurer CAN NOT make and hold receipts for any one. Please do not ask it. Provisions of Law Relating to Taxation; “The owner of property on the first day of April of any year shall be liable for the taxes of that year. The purchaser on the first day of April shall be considered the owner on that day.” Purchasers of PERSONAL Property as well as Real Estate should remember that ’TAXES FOLLOW THE PROPERTY when the taxes thereon remain unpaid. ‘COUNTY ORDERS in favor of persons owing delinquent taxes cannot be paid without settlement of the taxes.’ ‘lt is the duty of the TAXPAYER, to state definitely on what property he desires to pay taxes, in whose name assessed and in what township or town it was assessed. THE TREASURER WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE for the penalties and charges resulting from the tax-payer’s omission to so state.’ The Tax Duplicate for any year is made with reference to property on the first day of April of that year and remains forever unchanged as to the showing of property, and in whose name assessed and taxed. Transfers after the first day of April of any year will never appear upon the Duplicate of that yew’s taxes. Those who pay taxes on property in trust, and whose taxes are complicated Birk as undivided estates, etc., should pay early enough to avoid the rush of the last few days, as it requires time to mate* the divisions and separate receipts. ROAD RECEIPTS must be presented in payment of FIRST INSTALLMENT. The Annual Sale of Delinquent Lands and Lots will take place on the SECOND MONDAY of FEBRUARY, 1896. J. C. GWIN. ’ County Treasurer.
