IMPOETANT.-COmpt Burcb, in an
swer TO a letter OF inquiry as to the date at
which the 10 per cent. penalty is 20 be ex-
acted Ct delinquent tax payers, says, ''that
in his opinion, it was not the intention OF
the Legislature to enforce the penalty I'M
til the expiration Of ninety days after the
tax books shall have been in the Collectors
hands for four months" To illustrate:
Elf the books came into the hands Of the
Collector on the 9th day Of October, four
months from that date is February 9th,
ninety days frsm the latter date is May 9Th,
then after May 9th the law requires the
penalty 10 be collected. BY this consirac-
lion Tax Collectors will be governed"
The Collector in this county received his
books on the 10th Of NoyembeT-four
months from that day will be the 10th Of
May, and ninety days from May 10th will
put on the enforcement OF the 10 per cent.
penalty in Madison county to June 10th.
This will prove a great relief to our people,
embarrassed As they have been by panics
and bad weather.
