J. Pinnell on Monday by the Board of County Commissioners for the collection of i 1935 taxes. The total abstract for this year is $106,479.39, which is 1 $9,126.90 less than last year. The difference in the figures for the two years is due to the reduction'! in the tax rate for 1935 over 1934. | With 83 per cent of the 19341' taxes collected, Sheriff PinneU i; turned the books over to the com- ' missioners several weeks ago for a check-up by an auditor. The books revealed that the 17 per cent of uncollected taxes was composed of 1 delinquent accounts and insolvents. 1 William Burroughs, chairman of < the board, stated yesterday that i most of blie 1934 money was due from delinquent tax payers rather j , than insolvents. The insolvent list,' i j he said, represents around $4,000 ; and the remainder is due from |; those who are slow in paying their J; taxes. He is of the) opinion that,; most of this will be collected later.' Since the books were tinned , over by the Sheriff, $500 was paidj into blie auditor's office, it was . f . learned from Tom Gardner. The1,, balance due is expected to be j ! brought about by land sales. { ' J. H.
