The Penalty for Non-payment of
- Semi-Annual Tax.

Many, if not most persons, mistake
the effect Of the tax law passed at the
last session of the Legislature, providing
for the payment of one half of the assess
ed tax upon the goth of December
The supposition is very general that the
penalty is but five per cent. upon the
amount die upon that day, and conse-
ouently that there will be no additional
penalty if the taxes are not paid before
the Goth of June of the next year, and
that the penalty, therefore, is but about
equal to the ordinary rates of interest
charged by bankers, about ten per cent.
per annum.
A communication signed by tax-pay,
ers was sent to DIR. Fries, the County
Treasurer, a day or two ago, PROFOUND
ing certain questions which he was re-
auested to answer for the benefit of the
tax ayers generally, who may be igno-
rant Of the provisions of the new law
The Treasurer yesterday after an exam
ination of the law, replied to those ques-
tions, and as they arc of interest to
every person in the city whose name may
be upon the tax duplicate, we publish
The interrogatories and replies:
LIST. If the half yearly tax on per-
Sonal property is not paid on the 20th
of December, does not the whole tax for
the year mature on that day, and is not
the penalty of 5 per cent. for nou pay
meut to be estimated on the aohole tax
or the year?
To this question the Treasurer replyed
in the aErn0tire that is that the PEN
llty of 5 per cent. is added to the arhoLe
FAC which appears upon the duplicate.
Cd. Is there any additional penalty
or the non payment of taxes onPers0mal
property, if not paid at any subsequent
to the 2Oth of December.
The reply is in the negative; but par
les may be preceded against immedi-
.tely after the goth of December for the
gears tar.
Sd. At what period may execution
re issued againstdelinquent personal tax
ayers, and will not such delinquents
to pay the EXP euses of such execu-
ions in addition to the penalty?
The Treasurer that the ex
cution may issue Immediately after the !
9th of December, for principal, penalty, 3
nd costs
18th. If the half yearly tax on real :
tate is no paid by the Goth of Deem (.
or, is there any additional penalty =
bove 5 per cent, if not paid, at any
lbscquent period?
To this query, which is a very impor
one to large holders of city property, fe
Ie Treasurer replies that thirty per pl
LIT. is the penalty after the first Mon l
~ in February. CO

paragraphs in the Boston Transcript:

it says:

of a serial novel from the pen of Mrs.
Harriet Beecher Stowe; and that por-
tions of it will appear from month to
month until it is completed. The story
is marked by all the characteristics of
style and spirit which have made the
authors former works so famous. The
scene is laid in New England immedi-
