MARTIN ORDERED , TO FORECLOSE ON \ LAST YEAR'S TAXES New Law Requires Proceed ings Similar To That Un / d?r Deed of Trust WILL ADD MUCH COST TO EACH PARCEL SOLD Abstracts Mjust Be. Made, No tices Given and Two Pub lications for Each Parcel Commissioners in special adjourn ed session last Monday transacted much important business in addition to that of the adoption of the ap propriation resolution. It was order ed by the board that foreclosure pro ceedings be instituted on all property sold- for taxes in the year 1027. Un der the new State-wide County Gov ernment Act it is necessary that property sold for taxes be foreclosed in similar manner as proceedings followed in foreclosure sale under deed of trust. Under this plan it is said, that a tax deed is as good as a j warranty deed, or . any other title to j property. County Attorney H. E. Martin] was authorized to proceed with the] foreclosure action at once on all] Ijropecty which the county bought in I at the tax sale one year ago. j On account of the added cost, it t is expected that many people who in- j tend to redeem theii' property will j do so at once. It Avill add something j like sixty dollars to taxes already i due if the sale is perfected, An at- j toj'ney's fee of S25 iri' allowrid for i making abstract of property and preparing for the sale. Publication fees will be about twelve dollars on j each piece of property, and in. addi- j tion to these there will be other ??osts, which, taken together, -will j make about $60 cost on the prepar ation and sale of each parcel of prop erty. Citizeps whose property was sold for taxes a year ago and who in tend to redeem their property, are ] being urged to do so at once, so as to avoid this additional cost. It was decided by the board to employ a county home demonstrator, the county paying $1)00 annually on ' the expense of the demonstrator.' y while the state bears the balance of the exoense. The county ha3 been] without a Tiofhfc deiawaistrfttor for ? several months, and it is said there ] have been many requests made to J tlic 'commissioners for resumption of ? this important work. ? . The board voted to spen.d the sum of $300 annually on the municipal band. Some kind of an agreement was reached whereby Prof. Cutter, blind master, will lead the band dur ing the summer season here and j th?n woWc ' .in Florida during the ? winter months. What effect this > will have upon the band is yet to be determined, as Prof. Cutter .has! given his. full time to the" band, hold- j ing regular rehearsals throughout j the ygar, teaching and training the ( young people in band work. j Several matters ' of ruinor import- I ance and of routine nature engaged j much of the time of the board at this meeting. SINGING CLASS ~ ! INSPIRES MASONS1 Greeted by a full house, the sing-, ing class from the Oxford Orphanage rendered a concurt in th" High School buildim; last Wednesday eve ?ing which itfspired every Mason in the big audience, and delighted all the friends of the order who were in attendance. The concert was given under the auspices of Dunn's Rock Masonic Lodge, and quite a sum was realized from the sale of tickets, which is used in support of the in stitution at Oxford. An interesting bit of information was given at tne concert, when it was stated that only one child in every five in the orphanage are child ren of Masons. While the institution is maintained by the Masons of the state, the doorg are open to orphan children regardless of whether they are children of members of the or ganization.
