To Consider Policy
The Board, following a discussion
of the matter, agreed informally
to consider adopting a policy on
all delinquencies at their next meet
ing. “If wc don't -push this nuuMn-
we’re just Inviting people to be
delinquent,” said Alderman Paul
Wager. Mentioned in the discussion
were the possibilities of instituting
law suits, as Orange County has
dtine. for collection of real estate
taxes, and the processes of seizing
personal property or garnishee of
wage for personal property tax
delinquencies.
The Auditor brought the matter
before the Board at Us request,
to help clear his books of the
hundreds of outstanding debts. On
the lists he piiescnted were an
average of 150 to 200 unpaid tax
debts for each of the five years.
Many were coiile.sted. he said,
many uncollectable, and other like
