of 1935 <br /> <br />Plan <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br /> Section 4 of Assembly Bill 1129, being Chapter No. 396 of the Statutes <br />is pertinent to this plan and ~eads as follows: <br /> <br />"The facts constituting such necessity are as follows: <br />Due to the depression which has existed in the past several years <br /> many landowners have been unable to meet the taxes and assess- <br />ments levied by the State, poliO%cai subdi~tsicns, agencies, <br />reclamation, drainage and levee districts, with the result that <br />their lands have been sold to the State and such taxing and <br />assessing agencies. The heavy penalties assessed by law have <br />made it impossible for the landowners to redeem their lands, <br />hence thousands of acres of land (together with thousands of lots), <br />have been sold for the non-payment of such taxes and assessments, <br />and deeds have been executed thereon to the State and such <br />taxing and assessing agencies. That as long as such lands (or <br />lots) remain State lands, the same are non, assessable for tax or <br />assessment purposes, and the tax ~ assessment burden becomes <br />heavy upon the paying lands, causing more delinquencies and <br />losses * * * The legislature hereby declares that the welfare <br />of the State requires that such lands (or lots) be p~aced in <br />prtvat~ ownership as promptly as possible so that such land (or <br />lots) henceforth bear its Just proportion of current taxation <br />and assessments." <br /> <br />dated November 15th, 193V.~ <br /> <br />Exhibit "A" <br /> <br /> <br />
