Mr.. MCGOWAN, county trustee, desires
US to say to say that the Office of back-poll-
tax collector was created by the County
Court; that the said collector appoints his
own deputies, and that he, as trustee, has
nothing to do with their appointment and is
not responsible for their acts in any way;
that under the law the trustee has no
TO appoint special collectors, but
is required to certify all delinquent taxes to
the constables or sheriff. Sometimes parties
are assessed twice on the textbooks in diff
ferent wards, and hence it occurs that
parties are presented Win bifis after they
have paid their tax.
