tor an opinion, l WIFI say, iii only Necessary
to read the tax law of 1873 passed last
v inter. to see That the Board has no power
over the subject II cannot Increase or di-
minish the Tax, pena ues or interest provided
uy iaW Neither can the Treasurer RECON lie
any action of the Board in the premises ;. |
The Treasurer cannot receive the tax for such
/
ne dos n il made guilty OF a mi>demesBoT |
and fined the full amount Of penalties ana
interest not collected, and ne and the parties
ON his official bond are responsible on his |
Official pond for the Iu!f amount RENTED |
" here property has been sold for taxes, or
bid in by the County. and the certificate OF |
sale has remained nntrsns erei Tor three
years tie Board can compromise the same on I
any terms il may deem proper.
There il but one way that the taxes of 1876 |
1871 and ISIS can be placed under the power |
pt the BOari. IL is claimed the tax sales of
1876 and Isl. are void, because of the tax levy |
having been excessive. II a case is presen- |
ted TO the District Court involving This ques- |
ton, and the Court decides such sales Illegal,
md that the City is only entitled TO the ac- |
tual tax will advise the Board to be gov
erned by such decision in all other like cases
without putting the taxpayers TO the
Judgment the Treasurer would b. protected |
IN acting in accordance with such decision
