CITY MAY SUE
THE DELINQUENTS
Action in Court Necessary to
Collect Taxes Not Paid
Voluntarily
The citizens *»f Yalilez who have
neglected to pay their taxes will
have to get busy if they wish to
save themselves from being lia
ble to pay a much greater sum.
The taxes will heroine delinquent,
on Monday, March ■'», at 0 o'clock
and it. will be up to I he cily coun
cil to lake action through Mm*
courl to make collections if the
taxes are not voluntarily paid.
Tim lax levy for Valdez would
provide an income of about st),oun
for meeting the expenses of I he
town. To dale about $5,POO has
bei-n paid inlo the city's treasury.
During former years a system
was practical whereby delin
quents were lined but I his pro
cedure has been declared illeg
al by the court. The only re
course for the council to recover
taxes now is to sue and obtain
judgment, and as no case can be
entered for a fee of less than
$ I (5 the costs would not be less
than *"J0 ami possibly double that
figure.
The council will no doubt find
it necessary to collect the taxes
from all alike, as the legitimate
expenses of the town must b«? pro
vided for. II would be unfair to
those who have paid their taxes
to permit, others to remain on
the delinquent list and the city at
torney may find hiir^self the bus
iest man in I own shortly afler
