This Day in History: 1934-08-09
The continuing impact of the depression was evident in the number of lots that were announced about to be sold for unpaid taxes. A total of over $12,000 was owed in unpaid 1932 and 1933 taxes plus interest on 47 different pieces of property. The charges ranged from the $2.02 balance owed on Block 65, lot 19 to the over $3,000 owed by the estate of George and Davis Fox, on two lots totaling ten acres on Franklin Turnpike. Some of the arrears were made up before the sale on the 14th, but all lots offered for sale were sold, enabling the Township to balance its books. (Bristow)
