To the Treasurer and Commission
ers Of Columbia County.
GENTLEMEN You are doubtless aware,
that The semi annual interest on the funded
deb of the Commonwealth falls due on the
FIRST DAY OF AUGUST NEXT. | feel
impelled under a sense Of duty 10 call your
attention 10 the necessity of prompt and I'M
mediate action TO secure an early payment
OF the taxes due the Stale. The reputation
and honor of The State are in a great mea-
sure committed 10 your keeping, il is upon
the tax due from lnp sevorai counties. that |
reply mainly for The means of making pay
ment. am aware that the late slringency
in The monetary affairs OF The country, has
greatly crippled the Manufacturing and Com
mercial interests of The State, that the gener-
al drought and consequent failure OF last
wears crops has deprived the farmer oil his
usual ability 10 pay, and that owing to these
adverse circumstances, il will require on
your part q more than usual effort TO collect
promptly. know that the highest incile-
meni 10 duly that can be placed before the
people of this Commonwealth, is 10 assure
Them that the honor of the Commonwealth
demands such duty al their hands.
Which | would hold up this higher motive
TO YOU, and through you TO the people. l
would also remind you that by the Act OF
Assembly of the 28th day OF April, 1874, it
is provided that " any county paying into The
State Treasury lis quota OF tax levied on lis
adjusted valuation, fifteen days prior to The
first day of August, in any year, such county
shall be entitled 30 an abatement OF five per
cent, upon the amount so paid" am dis
posed 10 give this law a fair and liberal con-
slruclion. Where the whole amount has
moi been paid, but an amount approaching
near 10 the whole, the deduction Of FIVE per
cent, will be made. | would suggest the
propriety of allowing the abatement of five
per cent, by The tax collector Immediately 10
the tax payer, believing that such a course
incite 10 a more prompt payment than when
the benef, is made accrue 10 the County
Treasury.
You will confer a great favor upon me, by
letting me know at as early a date as it will
be possible for you 10 do so, with any rea-
socable degree of certainty, what amount OF
money you will be able 10 furnish, and at
what time, Yours respectfully.
