YEAR .TUXE 30 - PointliiK out the voluminous work entailed in foreelosure of all lax liens for l!)3i> and prior years hold liy Karuett, Comity Attorney Henry C. Siviokl.md told" The News yester day that ain'ce the filing of the first suit and Issuance of summons Feb ruary 4, 1937. the county treasury had been made richer by approxi mately ?350,000. "And 1: is still coming in,” the attorney added, ex hibiting the cancellations entered in suits on th? Judgment docket, noting that taxes, penalties and costs in the ca.sfs had been settled. Somewhere near 80 per cent of the suits are bt-ing settled through pay ment of back taxes and contingent fees by those who have allowed their property to come to foreclosure pto- ceodlngs. At the opening of the proceedings, ‘when the attorney Is sued summonses to 'those livterested in th.- first cases started, $51,000 was collected on back' tax.'s. This amount came to the treasury on the^ strength of the first batch of sum monses alone. Collecting began to point 10 an uplift then, not only ^in taxes in arrears but In current col lections in the tax collector’s office, There were .ipproximately 300 cases In the first suits. In a very few cases there are dis counts or remissions granted by the Hoard of Commissioners, due mainly to miscalculations in assessments and errors in listing costs. In these rare , e.tsos. Attorney Strickland pointed out, nothlug short of Justice has bciu done, because property holders a''e not responslbK; for mis- take.s made In listing, where, for in- H unco, there h.ippened to be fewer aere.s in fact than apoeared on the tax hooks. A small hatch of the salts arc headed to Superior Court lu the form of civil aetions where parties have Jolu(d In Is.sues apparently but really are not considering civil action 'at 'Ull hu: meidy playing for time. All of the-^ cas.\s. the attorney .S'tatod. are settled out of court when the sued parlies get hold of the cash to pay up with. Attorney Sirlokland, who has been as.sisiii! by loe.fl lawyers in gather ing data for tlie stilts, listed 722 tax cases wh.'u he started last February. He still lias a number of summon.ses to be .served, but has preparec^ prac- Hciilly oil of them and will from ahls time on continue ^-wlth the process till he has cleaved iho last case from :h." records. It was only by receipt of the bock ■axes from these foreclosure suits that Haiuet't county has been able to maintain its low- lax rate, Mr. Strick land stated.

To wipe out this debt, '.Na'lioual Chairman James A.

'the '’■inaster” dinner in, Washington li sums were $100 each and tickets for the North Carolina dinner were $25. Harnett’s quota was, $'12!6. and Chairman Strickland^ -was designated to raise this sum, of fi/G donations of $26 eacli. Although much larger (ban $25i Ijave' been donated jiy Harnett Democrats 'when the iparjly faced an emergency, Chairm'im Strickland realized thg-’i '$26 ,was|a lot of money to Democrat^; big and small.
