EDITOR 0urLiSI:--I see an item in last o..
line, stating that the time for paying taxes .
extended till FIRST Of April Now, you will see
Sec. 30, Of Tax Laws: And where an ex.
tension Is had each Township Treasurer or
other collecting officers, shall be authorized
to levy and collect all taxes, as if such extern
sion had not been granted; but no collector or
Township Treasurer shall receive the benefit
of such extension until he shall have paid over
to the County Treasurer, or other officer au
thorized to receive the same all moneys col
lected by him up to frst day of Feb. which
may he due; aud in all cases interest ,hall e
charged on all taxes extended from the first
day OF FEBRUARY, at the rate and in the manner
provided in Sec. 10 Of this sct-rhich is.ff
teen cent. per dnnn,n." t.,t...
Now, you see by the above that the time
for paying tarcs il not extended; but the time
for the Town Treasurer to make his re urn to
the County Treasurer; and the Town Treasurer
is commanded to collect all taxes as If no
extension had been granted. ..t ,r u
Yours &c. !
