County To Advertise
1931 Taxes Monday
City To Advertise
Week Later
County Board Decides To Follow
Requirement. Delinquent List
Dec re<M.'r.g.
At their meeting tnls week the
Cleveland county commissioners de
cided to follow the requirements of
the state law and go ahead and ad
vertise delinquent 1931 taxes on. next
Monday, May 9, preparatory to
selling property for taxes on Mon
day, June 6.
Comm ^loners of teveral North
Carolina counties rui- the risk of
violating the law an i postponed ad
vertising and sale of taxes from a
month to three months. Aft^r giv
ing serious study to the proposition
and securing legal advice the Cleve
land board decided however, to
I comply with the law rather than
i risk litigation in the courts and me
| possibility of bringing additional ex
pense to '.he tax-payers of the coun
ty.
Down To Normal
The required advertising of de
linquent taxes Mono ay will ir>t
I find any great amount of the tax
j levy in the county unpaid. Mo'-e
than five-sixths of the total levy
has been paid and citizens contin
ued to pay this week. By the end cf
the week, or by advertising time
Monday, it is believed that the levy
of more than $300,000 wil be pjaid
down to between 40 and 50 thous
and dollars. This is in line with
more prosperous years as for almost
a decade around $40,000 In taxes
have remained unpaid by the first
advertising date.
There were several l'asons for not
running the risk of violation of the
delinquent tax law. Past of all, fire
of every six tax-paveis have paid
their tax. Then, had the sale been
postponed, there is tue probability
that- citizens advercsec might pro
test the legality of the sale In that
it was not carried oat at the time
set by state law. There was still
another item of expense. Counties
postponing the sale of property are
responsible for interest on the un
paid amount at the rate of 19 per
cent per annum. Commissioners, it
is said, can be held legally respon
sible for the Interest where coun
ties postponed the saie this week.
City Week Later
The city of Shelbv will advertise
the delinquent tax -st a week later
than the county, or on Monday
May 16, and property will be so’d
for city taxes on Monday, June 13.
A major portion of the city levy for
1931 has been paid as has the coun
ty levy'.
With another week, or the re
mainder or this weett for delin
quents to pay their county taxes
and a week and ont-balf yet in
which to pay city caxes it Is hoped
that the delinquent list will be down
or below that of previous years.
Extend Lisnng
Another move of tne county com
missioners this week was to extend
the listing period for another week.
All property was originally required
to be Us tea during April, but a big
percentage of property owners in
Shelby and the county have not
listed as yet and the • cditional waek
was granted to enable them to
avoid the penalty of the law for net
listing.
