The eut will be made in tho sinking fund in keeping with a plan advanced by Councilman Arthur N. Smith? The complete levy includes: Interest on bonds, .0842; sinking fund, .0150; contingent fund, 500; library, .0100; streets, .0308, and special guarantee fund, .0100. Reason for the eut in the sinking nwd was to transfer the burden from the next three years over a longer period of time. It was tha opinion of the council that it is at the present time that taxpayers need relief. A levy of 3 mills eould have been retained for the next three years and tho bond issue of $160,000 paid off in 1934. This would have made the levy for interest on bonds and sinking fund 1L9 mills. After 1934 this levy would drop to 3 mills. By taking 2 mills from the sinking fund now, however, it cuts the levy for these two items to 0.9 mills.

Payment will be accepted on delinquent taxes which involve two or more years, providing the payment is to discharge the full amount of taxes, interest and costs for one year. Such payment will be applied to release taxes which became delinquent last. The above plan applies to only eases where the tax sale certificate is held by tho eounty and not to eases where the certificate of sale has been assign- . tuf-fieie- nt ed. On the installment plan, the period of redemption is not thereby extended and there will be no refund of the amount paid in the event the full sum due is not paid before the redemption period expires. No redemptioh certificate will' be issued until the full amount of all delinquent taxes, together with penalties and interest as provided by law have been paid, and unless such sum is paid prior to the time the property against said taxes are a lien will be conveyed to the eounty for the amount of same, less such amounts as have been theretofore paid. The payment of delinquent taxes on the installment plan ia of benefit to the taxpayers as it affords considerable relief to those who desire to terminate as soon as possible the running of a heavy penalty rate of . of $148J35.
