it is, the same law you refer to, but
failed to quote. Sec. Is revenue act
1882.
IF any error in the description of any prop
erty or owners nane be discovered by the tax
collector or sheriff. (lot yOn) lit shall be his
duty to note the correct description and name
on the tax rolls. and to advertise and sell said
property by its correct description
This law has been in force since the
year 1882 and is in force How Under
its operation the collector managed to
correct the erroneous assessments and
descriptions of 1883 without the aid of
yonr aid and to finally settle for the
taxes of that year and yet you would
have us believe he needed your instruc-
tons to comply with this law in 1884
and 1885.
You seem to forget that the law deals
directly with the collector and sternly
imposes upon him certain duties under
severe penalties, which you are required
to enforce.
The law gave the collector his in
stluctions in 1882, he had them in 1883,
1884, 1885 and has them now and yet
the accounts OF 1884 and 1885, remain
Enclosed to this day.
Defective assessments do not account
for this and it is simply trifing with
the good sense of the people to put up
such plea. 1t is chaff, veritable chat,
and you must know it, Mr.. Auditor.
But the law further provides that, all
taxes for 1884 on real estate became de-
linquent on the 31st day of December.
On the I'd day of January, 1885, it was
the duty of the collector to notify delin-
quents Of that fact. Twenty days
