ALL the Road and Bridge Tax and ONE-HALF of all other takes make the FIRST INSTALLMENT and must be paid on or lx*fore the FIRST Monday in May, 1901. ONE-HALF of all taxes, except Road and Bridge, constitute the SECOND INSTALLMENT, and must be paid on or before the FIRST Monday in November, 1901. 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 tip- first day of April of any year shall bo liuble 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 r cannot be paid without settlement of the taxes.” “It is the duty of the TAX PAYER to state definitely on what property he desires to nay taxes, in whose najn<‘ 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 unchanged for the year as to the showing of property, and in whose name assessed and taxed. Transfers after tho first day of April of any year will never appear upon the Duplicate of that year's taxes. Those who pay taxes on property in trust, and whose taxes are complicated such as undivided estates, etc., should pay early enough to avoid rush of the last few days, as it requires time to make the divisions and separate receipts. ROAD RECEIPTS MUST be presented in pay ment of FIRST INSTALLMENT. The Annual Sale:of Delinquent Lands and Lots will take place on the SECOND. MONDAY of FEBRUARY, 1901. R. A.
