Bill Gives Board
Right To Defer
Would Give Farmer* Ttmr To 4e|
Cotton. Matter left Up To
Cotintv Hoard.
The annual sheriff s sale m
property for delinquent taxes mat
he postponed in Cleveland counts
this year until November,
A hill was Introduced In legn.it..
ture at Raleigh this week by Rep
rasentative Errfest Gardner, oi
Cleveland, and Representative Tarr
Bowie, of A.she. wluqfi would give
county boards the right to defat
tax sales
Usually In .lime
By the ordinary procedure undet
law the annual .sheriff's sale for
taxes m conducted the first Mon
day In June. That would mean uti
lesa the sale 1* deferred, that prop
erty on which 1932 taxes have not
been paid should be advertised this
month and placed on the block the
next first Monday.
ft la presumed, however, that the
Introduction of the bill in Raleigh
means that the Cleveland county
commissioners may be planning to
IKXsIpone the tax aale for a few
months
In that connection It was learned
today that a bill to give the com
missioners this light, was sent to
Raleigh by Peyton Mr.SwRin. attor
ney for the county commissioners
It la presumed that it was the same
bill Introduced by Representatives
Gardner and Bowie
If tt; is tile bill gives the conntH
sloners authority, according to M
McSwain. to defer the sheriff <v
'until any first Monday after the
first Monday Hi June, but hoi tv -
jmiiu limb muiiuny in ivmi'ih
her" If Hie county board derides
to take the full limit of the bills
authority, It means that tax sale-,
for 1032 delinquent taxe* may not
be held until Monday, November fl.
It is probable that legislator* of
other counties will have the legis
lation applied to their ctninties.
In 1931 the legislature gave com
missioner* the right to defer tat
gale* to November but the law ap
plied only to that year, while In
1932, last year, the sale was tn June.
Help* Farmer*
Those advocating the deferment
of the sheriff's sale for taxes point,
out that It will be very beneficial
to farmers In that it will give them
an opportunity to sell some cotton
from this year's crop by that time.
Likewise It is argued that practic
ally all citizens would be helped by
the delay In that quite a number
have been unable to pay their
taxes due to money Med up In the
bank
The presumption Is that the tax
bill will pass the legislature and
that a postponement will be made,
perhaps to November.
