Sharon Twp., Free of Delinquent
Taxes, Rates Top Honors in County
speaks well for the citizens of that
community as well as the trustees
and other officials. In the village of
Sharon proper, there is one lot with
delinquent taxes against it, to mar
an otherwise perfect record.
Brookfield township is clear of de
linquent taxes, but the coal property
is in bad shape, which gave Sharon
top honors.
The board of revisions was of the
opinion that Noble and Olive town
ships were in the worst condition.
There is very little delinquent prop

It is believed that the first public
sale will be held near the first of
