suPPIlMsNRAL ASSESSMENT ron 1859.
In the report for the half year ending 3lst De
eember, 1862 it was stated that the supplemental
| Assessment Roll for 1862 embraced property val
ued at $2U7 6l7 the taxes thereon being s. $40 e
apportioned as follows: To State, 1886 81; to
County, IS, 22S 81 and to the Fire Department,
SIG 81 Upon account Of this assessment there
has been paid on account Of state and County
taxes S33 80, and on account Of the ire Depart
ment s. being total Of $S5 80, and leaving due
upon that roll the sum Of s., s04 50, apportion-d
as follows: To state, ST. SIS p; to County,
Sc, 2O4 60, and to the Fire Department, STA 81.
On the 14th February last. the Board Of Commits
siOners passed q resolution by which Il was
''ordercd, that the entire supplemental assessment
for the year 1869 be, and the same 10 hereby,
stricken out and RENTED" But the State au-
thorities, objecting to such action by the Board,
instituted proce. dnes in the supreme Court to va
cate such order, which have resulted in late de-
cisiou by the Court that the action OF the Board
in thus RENTING the whole Of the Supplemental
Roll was unauthorized and their order declared
void. What proportions Of the present del'nquen-
cies upon that roll, and the additional 10 per cent
thereon, will be hereafter collected, depends in
great measure upon the further action Of the
Board and of the District Attorney in reference
thereto The collection Of the amount due would
be great benefit to the County finances.
