also to state the exact amount which
r. D. MOsely, Trustee, has received
as commissions for collecting the tax
of 1876, and the amount which is
now due him upon the tax for 1877
under my construction of the law,
allowing him six per cent. upon
the first 5000, four per cent. upon
the next $4,000, and two per cent.
upon the next $4,000 of each sepa-
rate fund which he collects.
Respectfully,
CHARLES w. TYLER.
In response to the above request
of Judge Tyler, we further report:
1st. That the sums of money
contained in the report of r. d.
MOseley, Trustee, and derived from
the Railroad tax for 1876 and the
sums contained in the report
of Peter Oneal, County Court
Clerk and derived from taxes
on privileges for 1876 and 1877,
shown above to have been paid
to Judge C. w. Tyler, were all as
received from time to time deposit
ed by him in bank to his credit as
County Judge.
I'd. There is now in the several
banks at credit of the county Off
GERS the following sums, viz:
Sinking Fund, credit of Judge Ty-
School Fund credit of R. b Nose l'' o.
County Gi Fund, credit Of r. D. Nose
$685. %
3rd. The County Judge has on
special deposit in bank belonging
to the Sinking Fund the following
securities, viz. at their face value:
Forty-eight Montgomery county
Bonds, $3.50 90 each-...................S 500 90
Twelve Montgomery county old
Bonds, 81 900 each 1900 90
1874 State of Tennessee Bonds, 1000
go shares stock in Louisville and
Nashville r. r., SlO0 90 each...... $1,000 90
4th. r. D. MOseley, Trustee, has
been paid as his commissions for
collecting and disbursing the COun-
ty, School and Railroad taxes for
the year 1876, six per cent. on the
| first So, 900; four per cent. on the sec
ond $1,000; two per cent. on the re-
mainder of each separate fund by
him collected, his commissions
amounting to
On County 575 63
On Railroad +" ............................ 654 9S
sl,SI9 67
AT the same rate his commissions
for the year 1877 will be something
less, owing to the reduced amount
of taxes. 1t will be observed that
we have reported the Privilege
taxes collected for 1876-77, while the
County, School and Railroad taxes
are only reported for 1876, the col
I lectiOns for 1877 of those taxes being
not yet completed and consequently
/ the settlement not yet made.
