Fred M. Brey, county auditor, states that there are about 1,000 descriptions. No property on which Ward county has bid in the taxes prior to 1936, no property on which the owner has entered into contract with the county for payment of taxes, are listed. Last year, no taxes were bid in and Mr. Brey does not expect that there will be any buyers this year. The taxes draw a straight six per cent, the three per cent penalty having been eliminated. Before one can get title to the property thru a tax deed, it will be necessary to wait five years.
