Before | commenced to settle up
with the different town Treasurers,
] concluded not to accept of any
delinquent taxes on real estate, i'm
perfectly described, but could not
induce any of them to take off such
taxes from their delinquent lists,
they not having the funds to settle
up on these conditions, as most Of
the towns have, on account of the
heavy county tax, levied town tax
enough only to cover the most
pressing demands. The county now
holding a large amount of tax GER
tiiicates which are worthless on ac-
count of imperfect descriptions, it
would be well your Hon. Body to
pass a resolution authorizing me to
charge all such taxes back to the
towns by which they were returned.
1t is not necessary that the towns
should lose these taxes, but they
may instruct their assessors to re-
turn perfect descriptions of all such
property, either by metes and
bounds or by referring to the rec
ords in the Registers office: they
may then include the amount with
the taxes to be levied for the ensu-
ing year. This course would in my
opinion stop the practice of return
ing to the county Treasurer taxes
on real estate imperfectly described,
and town as well % county would
be benefited thereby.
By request OF the superintendent
of the poor, | have accepted county
poor orders to the amount Of ST.
974.5l in payment of taxes. Hav-
ing credited myself with this amount
! would respectfully request your
Hon. Body to pass resolution to
the effect, that, when | deliver said
orders the Treasurer of Supelin-
tendents of the poor, his receipt
therefor, shall be accepted of me
ut my final settlement as a voucher
for money discussed.
| have in the office a tax certif-
cate on 5. +. ! of S. W. ! 9, 6, 3,
S263 the sale books shows that
said land was redeemed by Hugh
McCatferty, June %, 1870, but
there is nothing to show for it in
the County Clerks books. The
owner of the land says he paid
the tax, but being burnt out some
time ago, the receipt was consumed
by the flames. think the certiti-
cate should be cacelled.
There are two tax certificates in
my office amounting to $3.50, sale
of 1861, on n. ] OF N. f. / and n.
+. / of n. w. !, 35, &, =, the county
Poor Farm. Should they not be
cancelled !
