Mr. w. T. Oliver, Tax Collector, Parish OF
Richand
S4R-Your attention is called to the follow
ing letter addressed 10 me by the Governor:
STATE OF LOUISIANA
Executive DEPARTMENT,
New Orleans, July 5. 1876
Hon George B. johnson, Auditor of Public
Accounts
Sin-Whereas, a bill rcmiuing penalties on
delinquent taxes, provided surh taxes were
paid at specified time, together with all cur
rent taxes and licenses, was passed through
both Houses Of the General Assembly at its
last session, and failed 10 become a law only
because OF an unimporIant amendment made
in one House during the last hours of the ses-
sion, aud not concirred in by the other House
for want Of time; and,
Whereas, the exaciion Of such penalties at
this time appears to be so ouerOus as to &C
iualiy retard The collection of the revenue. you
are therefore authorized TO issue instructions
to the several tax collectors throughout the
State, directing them to receive all back taxes
Aithout penalties for period OF ninety DAYS
Provided, that payment is simultaneously
made for all current taxes and licenses All
tax collectors throughout the State should be
directed to receive such back tixes and Iicens-
es without penalties subject to the approval
of the General Assembly at irs next session.
WILLIAM p. KELLOGG. Governor.
! advise and concur in the above Execu.
tive order.
A. p. FIELD, Atty General
In conformity to the suggestions contained
therein, you are hereby alihorized and tlirec-
ted to receive all back taxes, without penal
ties, for ninety days from date hereof after
which date you will require tue payment of
the penalties exacted by law. as If this letter
OF instructions had not been issued II is TO
be understood that this order is not TO he con-
strued as granting any extension of time.
In connection herewith ! repeat my pre-
vious injunction relative to the efficient and
prompt collection of the revenue This Of
flee will insist upon and expect your best
efforts IN this direction, and regard inefficien-
cy as proper cause for recommendation to the
Governor for removal
You will make special report OF all back
taxes received. without penalties to the end
that the matter may he submitted to the Gen.
eral Assembly for approval.
Respectfully,
