Taxes and Tax Collections.
The books of the county treas
urer show that the total taxes as
sessed against all property in Lin.
county for the year 1901 waB $117,
946.23., Ot this amount the land
tax was $3G,079.99, town lota $19,-
412.0land personal property $61,
554.23. The average citizen will
no doubt be surprised to learn that
the personal taxes of the county arc
greater than the real estate taxes.
During the year 1901 Treasurer
Scharmanti collected taxes amount
ing to $169,701 37, of which' over
fifty thousand dollars were back
taxes, that is, taxes due for years
prior to 1901.
The collection of taxes for the
first six months of this year was
$152,343.66 and it is probable that
the total collections for the vear
will be in excess of two hundred
thousand dollars.
Treasurer Scharmann during the
past year has made special efforts
to collect delinquent personal taxep,
and has mailed to nearly every de
linquent in the county a statement
ot the amount due. Responses to
these statement have been many
and under Mr. Scuartr.ann's admin
istration the back taxes are being
considerably lessened each month.
