Construction of the Assessment
Law.

Construction of the Assessment
Law.
The following circular from the Comp
troller appeared in the LEDGER of the
l4th of May, and are republished by re-
quest for the benefit of assessors and
taxpayers.
CoMPTRoLLER's OFPIcE. May 10. 1873.
To the County Court Clerk of - County:
SIR-A circular letter issued from this
office, May l, says: " Under the assess
ment law the Tax Collector collects the
ad valorem tax upon merchants, while
the County Court Clerks collect the
privilege taxes in all cases"
From thorough examination Of the
law, / am satisfied that this construction
is erroneous. am satisfied that, under
the law il is tie duty of the County Court
Clerk to assess and collect the ad valo-
rem tax on auction and commission, and
all other merchants, as was provided by
law before the passage OF the present as
sessment law.
In confirmation Of this, 1 have the
opinion of the Attorney General, who
telegraphs me as follows:
There is some contradiction in the
act. The 22d section settled it by refer
ence to the former law, that the clerk
collects ad valorem and privilege tax"
The Assessor, therefore, does not fill out
the blanks in the second and third heads
of the schedules forwarded from this Of
fee relating to merchants and merchan
disc. JOHN c. BURCH, Comptroller.
To The County Court Clerks and Assessors of
CoMPTRoLLKR's OFFICE,
NASHVILLE, TENN, May 10, 1873.
Ny attention has been called to the
item in the fourth head OF the blank
assessment schedule, prepared by my
predecessor, which reads as follows:
Accounts and other demands on par
ties not solvent" | do not understand
that the law requires the taxpayer to
report and pay taxes on accounts and
demands which are worthless. 1t is
therefore only necessary under that head
for the taxpayer to report the amount
of such accounts and demands as are OF
some value, with the valuation which he
places upon them. For instance, if he
have an account or demand on a person
or an estate which he believes TO be
worth only fifty cents on the dollar, he
will report the total amount of the ac-
count or demand, and fix the valuation
at one-half of that amount.
