l sUPPLEMENrAL ASSESSMENT FOR 1S69.
In the report for the half year ending 3lst De
cenber, 1869, it was stated thatthe supplemental
| Assessment Roll for 1869, embraced property val
ued 500 6l7, the taxes thereon being Ss,940 70
apportioned as follows: To State. $685. 81; to
County, So, 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 account q the Fire Depart
| ment s.. being total of S55 90. and leaving due
upon that roll the sum Of Ss,e04 80, apportion-d
| as follows: To State, s., 5s5 y; to County,
SC. 2n4 60 and to the Fire Department, STA 81.
ON the 14th February last, the Board of Commits
sioners passed resolution by which II was
ordered that the entire supplemental assessment
for the year 1869 be, and the same Is hereby,
stricken out and remitted.' But the state au-
thorities objecting TO such action by the Board,
instituted proceedings in the Supreme Court to va
cate such order which have resulted in a late de.
cision by the Court that the action Of the Board
in thus remitfing the whole Of the Supplemental
Roll was unauthorized and their order declared
void What proportions of the present delinquen-
cies upon that roll, and the additional 10 per cent
thereon will be hereafter collected, depends IN a
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.
