Back Taxes 1
To 1935 To B
Town officials have been very busy
for the past several months collecting
back taxee for the years 1936
*37 and *38 and now exerted effort
will be put forth to collect the three
prior years, namely, 1938, '34, '36.
A Town official said, "We -started
chocking on the years before 193(
and we found that lots of people
have not paid what they owe the
town, and we want these pecple to
pay up without us having to take
legal atepe,"
me oniciaf pointed out that the
only way for Kings Mountain to pay
Its bills afid keep the tax rate tfowr
is for everyone who owes the town
to pay up. Thta second drive ia start
ed to try to clean up as nearly at
possible the back taxes tor the past
six years.
A large number of oitdzen* whc
owed back taxes were garnlsheed in
the first drive. , and town officlalV
expressed themselves as hoping this
would not be necessary this time
as the e*tra.cost has to be paid by
the taxpayer. .
