Sheriff's Office, Gettysburg, December 7, 1933. Ten per cent of all sales by the Sheriff payable immediately after sale; if same is not complied with property will be resold. for next year, the commissioners discovered that the yield, on the basis of the 1934 real estate assessments, will be only $150,720.76 for operating expenses, as compared with $167,000 this year. This seemingly paradoxical fact results from the drop of $1,453,913 in real estate assessments for Adams county as made this fall by the assessors. The decrease in real estate assessments, on farms and orchards, "was factor in 'the commissioners' decision to' increase the tax'rate.

Transfer Causes Iticrease Other Eaetors responsible for the increase in' the county tax -rate were the transfer of the four-mill money-at-interest tax from the county to the state and the $40,000 in outstanding taxes due the county for 1933. With estimated taxes for 1934 cut from $167,000 to $150,000, the commisioners announced that their budget for the coming year must necessarily be decreased, and slashes in annual appropriations all along the line are expected. While the general county tax for 1934 is expected to yield $150,720.76, the half-mill sinking fund levy will yield the county $8,376.78. This money is used to pay interest on outstanding bonds and loans and to provide for the retirement of such obligations. HAMILTON HERDS BEING TESTED Wife Admits Stabbing Husband Clair H.
