tieel sltaatlon in the matter of
tax foreclosure, according to a
statement issued this morning by
W. A. Stroud. Clerk of Wilkes
Superior Court.
Unless the provisions of Sen-
... ate Bill 180 are accepted for
'K'Wilkee county, between twenty-
^ five bundred and three thous
and tax foreclosure suits must bo
Instituted before October 1st of
this year. However if the provis
ions of this bill are accepted, a
decision in the matter must be
made on or before the 1st day of
April.
In this statement, Mr. Stroud,
called attention to the fact that j
If the regular course is followed i
this year, the taxpayers of Wilkes j
county will suffer to the extent of |
from fifteen to eighteen thousand |
dollars In costs for there fore
closure suits.
Mr. Stroud stated that the sug
gestion had been made that a
mass meeting of the taxpayers of
WUkes countr be held on Satur
day, February 24, at 10 o’clock
for the purpose of ascertaining
the sentiment of the people re
garding this matter.
Senate Bill 180 provides that
at the descretion of the Board of
County Commissioners delin
quent taxpayers may issue in
stallment notes covering a period
J of five years as a lien. against
^ their property in payment lor
taxes due and unpaid. It is gener-
