INSTRUCTIONS TO TAX COLLECTORS THROUGHOUT
THE STATE

The time is fast approaching when further de-
lays in the collection of Taxes are inconsistent
with satisfactory discharge Of duties by the
Revenue Officers, and will render it impossible
to meet the just obligations Of the State or bal.
ance accounts and make Report to the General
Assembly as required by law.
Accordingly you will proceed to advertise and
sell. by the thirty first Of October proxmo, all
property within your district or parish wbereon
any Taxes. current or delinquent. ehall remain
unpaid, You will be careful to observe al re-
ouirements Of the law in connection with seiz-
ures and Sales and conduct them under the pro
visions of Act AZ Of 1873; but no judicial pro-
ceedings others than by recordation and pubIt-
cation should be res0rted to, and the process
must be summary In accordance with section

ions Of section of said act Al, invariably bid 10

important points in relation to Tax Sales, re-
Gently decided by the Supreme Court 10 the case
of Morrison vs. Larkin, are communicated to
you for your guidance in the performance In
that respect:
First-Tax Collectors can collect taxes on the
delinquent lists as we'll as current unpaid taxes
for this purpose they can sell the lands that have
! been forfeited to the State.
Second While the tax debtor reffains from
exercising the right Of redemption Of such for
feited lands, he cannot restrain the sale OF the
lands by the Tax Collector under Act No. Al.
| Thiri-The tax debtor has no interest In
lands forfeited to the State for non-payment Of
taxes. except the right Of redemption.
Fourth-Aftcr the sale Of lands by the Tax
Collector as herein before described, the tax
debtor can redeem only by complying with Sec
ton six Isl of said Act No. A..
/ Fifth-The method prescribed BY Act AZ, fol
The forced sale Of lands for the collection Of tax
es, is not repugnant to the constitution OF thu
State or of the United States.
