Since that time, say members of the board, the amount of the personal property listed each year had diminished. / Taking a period of ten years as a basis for settlement, the board figured out that there was due in back taxes to the various taxing bodies the sum of $8,114. Attorneys for the estate made an offer of settlement of $6,660. A compromise agreement was reached and the amount to be paid by the estate fixed at $7,385. . Mr. Harrison lived on his farm In Nunda township until 1915, when he moved to Crystal Lake. The state of Illinois, McHenry county, McHenry county road and bridge fund, Nunda township and school dis- ' trict No. 40 will receive a division of the sum agreed upon based on a payment of back taxes for a period of ten years. The city of Crystal Lake »nH school district 47 will share in v; the division on the basis of eight §; years, while community high school $ district No. 155 has a claim for back r taxes since the district was organ-, ixed in 1920, a period of three years. The Crystal Lake park district is entitled to a small tax sfcice its orr ganization two years ago. It was brought to light last March that during the later years of his life Mr. Harrison failed to schedule for taxation all of his personal property. It was said at that time that he had scheduled from $12,000 to $16,000, whereas his estate had been estimated at from $95,000 to $150,000. It was estimated at that time that back taxes amounting to from $8,000 to $15,000 were due the various taxing bodies. A review of the assessments for the past ten years or more by the members of the board of review caused the board to fix the amount due at $8,114. The board compromised the case for $7,385, rather than enter into extensive litigation over the matter. Members of the board of review believe they have made a very fair settlement and express themselves as being pleased with the ( manner in which the matter was handled by Attorney C. Percy Barnes, attorney for the Harrison estate, stating that Attorney Barnes, while looking after the interests of his clients in every way, was very fair to the board of review in his manner of handling the matter while the negotiations in an effort to effect a settlement were progresslac. \ "MONNA VANNA" TAXABLE PROPERTY IN McBENRY COUNTY FALLS ^JOiFF $77*2* {Harvard Herald] A fall off in the assessed valuation of McHenry county taxable property of $773,225 over last year is shown by the final figures the county tax reviewing board will certify to the state tax oommission at Springfield.
