BISK TAK OWED TD COUNTY BY BANK IS SETTLED AMICABLY $16,842 Will Be Paid by State Institution on. 103 Par- cels of Land Agreement to settle $22,456.55 in taxes owed to Burleigh county by the Bank of North Dakota for $16,842.41 was reached at a meeting of the county fathers Tuesday. The proposal, made by Attorney George A. Thompson for the bank. provided for a 25 per cent discount of taxes due or delinquent when the bank acquired 103 parcels of Burleigh county land on foreclosure proceed- ings. Once property is in tle bank's possession it is exempt from taxation. Thompson explained that the bank is now offering the same deal to other counties and that many have accepsed it. Not only does it enable the county to collect the money at once, he said but it reduces the amount which the state treasurer has invested in the} land and thus makes it more prop- able that he will be able to sell it and thus return it to the tax rolls. In its land transactions the bank acs as agent for the state treasurer under the state farm loan laws. i The taxes listed in the agreemera! totaled $22,456.55 and the discount was | ain a 5,614.14, the bal: f $16,-/" Stzai which Will be paid at once. || Mrs, Talmadge Too Busy to Accept Bid There was no compromise on the| | hail insurance taxes, the agreement 4 providing that these be paid in full Atlanta, Jan. 2.—(?)—Mrs. Eu- | gene Talmadge says she will be too busy with her cotton plant- ing to pay a social visit to the White House next week.
