EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT

COLUMBIA, S. G., December goth, 1871.
The question having been raised as to
whether the law authorizes the State Au-
ditor, upon the approval of the Governor,
to extend the time for the payment OF
taxes, after careful examination of all
the acts bearing upon the subject, and be-
ing unable to find any authority for such
action, but at the same time knowing that
extensions, have been granted in previous
years, I submitted the matter to the At
torney-Geperal for legal opinion.
In reply to the question alluded to, the
Attorney. General answers: II have the
honor to say that the only section under
which it is claimed, so far as 1 am aware,
that the State Auditor, with the approval
of the Governor, may extend the time for
the collection of taxes, is the 147th Sec
ton of the tax act. That section is in
these words: IF any of the duties required
to be performed in this act on or before
certain day by any officer herein named
cannot, for want Of proper time, be so per-
formed, the State Auditor, with the ap-
proval of the Governor, upon proper evil
dence of the necessity of the same, may eX-
tend the time as long as may be necessary
An examination of this section will, l
think, lead to the conclusion that it has
reference simply and only 70 an exception
of time necessary for the tax officers to
perform their duties, and was not intend
ed to, and does not in terms, authorize an
extention of time for the payment of tax
es. am aware that different construct
ion has been acted upon for the past three
years, but now that the question is pre-
sented to me for the first time for my Opin-
ion, am obliged to say that | do not
think this section gives authority to you,
upon the approval of the Governor, to ex-
tend the time for any other purpose than
to allow the tax officers to complete their
prescribed duties.'
The law as construed by the Attorney
General, in whose opinion l fully concur,
does not allow the exercise Of discretion
ayy power to any officer in this matter.
I would therefore once more bring to the
notice of all the importance Of prompt and
punctual payment Of taxes, as under the
decision above quoted l cannot do other
wise than execute the law, as provided for
in the 9th section of the Tax Act, passed
September Is, 1868, which says that the
penalty shall attach upon all taxes and as
sessm snts not paid on or before the 18th
day Of January. EDWIN +. GARY,
State Auditor.

The indianapolis journal" of Satur-

irunterv to declare that "twenty-six

so. When the Journals party was in

secret OF causing trees to grow which

so, accompanied by his prime minister,
his courtiers, and bis chief priest he
went with the thief to IA place selected
near the city wall. where the latter per-
formed series of solemn incantations.

should be planted, it would produce Il
