Last Day for Paying Taxes Crowded Noblesville Office
Noblesville Indiana May 8 1919 Monday was the final day for paying taxes without penalties. The county treasurer Austin’s office was crowded as farmers delayed by wet fields rushed to pay by 8 am. By forenoon about 300000 dollars had been collected on spring installments, ahead of last year’s pace. The day brought many blank-check letters from non residents owning county property. New jurors were drawn for the circuit court and a trial for arson against A L Ogle was set for Monday. The estate case against Gradwohl and related interurban litigation drew attention, with damages sought at ten thousand dollars and the appearance of R E Llewelyn and others.
