In accordance with the advice of the City Solicitor to delay as lonE as
possible the advertising and sale of the delinquent tax list, and give the
Citizens and oroperty owners every relief possible, the advertising of delinouent
taxes was delayed from the customary time in December of the current year (1932)
until Friday, the seventeenth day of March, 1933.
All delinquent taxes for the City of Paducah, Kentucky, were today
offered for sale, pursuant with Kentucky Statute #3187, at the door of the City
Hall at or about 12 o'clock, noon.
There was no one present to take less than the whole or interested in
buying any individual tax bill, therefore the list was sold as a whole, and there
belting no other bidders, was bought in by me as Finance Commissioner for the
City of Paducah, Kentucky.
I trust this action meets with your approval.
