crops were bad tax sales are of little avail for you couldnt get a bid on a mans land at one of them and if you did sell for taxes the government refuses lo issue the script for the land trans fer so there you have it why pay taxes the average tax on a 160 aero place runs from 35 to 60 but un like the assessment system in ontario it doesnt matter whether thero are any buildings or not they dc affect the tax rate speaking about wheat the western clerk says that farmer realized only 16c per bushel for much of their crop the newspaper prices are much higher than the net receiv ed by the grower but its one of ibcil mediums he is able to collect taxes through for while it is useless to hold a tax sale it is still possible to seize enough wheat when it is being brought to the elevators

seizure for 1932 and 1933 taxes collector distin mcdonald not having return ed the 1932 roll yet the farm is mortgaged and the mortgagee is un willing to have the taxes applied against the property so there was nothing to do but get them from the few chattels after the expenses were paid there was 24 4s to apply on the overdue taxes and the balance may now be charged against the property it is reported that the owner of the chattels has since applied fo relief from uxbridge township coun cil and some are disposed to look en the affair as a sort of tit for tat move however the collector of
