CITY TO ADVERTISE
TAXES ON NOV. IST.

Mailed Out And Many Are
Paying Up

tise for sale all property with unpaid
taxes for 1936 on November Ist.
This decision was reached by city
officials at a meeting of the board
on Tuesday night, October sth.
Notices to this effect will probably
be mailed out today.
Tax notices informing tax-pay-*
ers that their 1937 taxes are due
were mailed out last week and city
manager Harris states that many
are paying their 1937 taxes now.
Valuation of property in Roxboro
reaches the sum of $2,223,430 and

in taxes. Pol! taxes contribute some
thing to this sum.
The county has made no state
ment as to when the county delin
quent tax list will be published, but
it is thought that it be a little later
