TO TAX MORTGAGEs

a bill introduced in the legislature.
by Mr.. Guthrie, proposes to assess and
tax mortgages. 1t provides that the
register of deeds in each county in the
state shall, between the first day of
March and the first day of May, in each
year, take from the mortgage records
of his office, list of all the real estate
and chattel mortgages that may appear
from the records as being unsatisfied
and not released on the first day of
March, which list shall be eltified to
and given TO the county clerk as coming
officially from his office. Such mort
cages shall be listed by the county clerk
as notes secured by mortgage, and as
belonging to the mortgage or assigns,
and subject to taxation in the city or
township where the property is located
at the time of the date of the mort
gage. Such report, so made out by the
register of deeds, and given to the coun-
ty clerk, shall be made and become
part of the report of the assessors in
such cities and townships as the real
estate may be located in, or the mort
gagor may be a resident of, at the date
of the mortgage, upon which a tax shall
be assessed, the same as upon other
personal property returned 10y the as
SCISSOR. The register of deeds shall des-
ignate on his list the kind of mortgage.
by following the same with a descrlp-
ton of the land, and the name of the
owner or the land, if real estate mort
gage, and by the name of the mortga-
gOr if chattel mortgage. The tax so
assessed shall be termed personal tax,
and shall become due and cOllectable as
| other taxes upon personal property;
provided, that if the mortgage is upon
real estate, the tax shall be due at the
time the tax upon real estate IS due Z;
but if upon personal property, to be-
come due and payable as other personal
taxes. Which tax, when so assessed
and due, shall be deducted from the
whole amount of taxes upon real estate
to be paid by the owner thereof, if a
real estate mortgage; and shall be de-
Quoted from the whole amount Of the
personal tax paid by the mortgagor if
a chattel mortgage: provided, however,
that said real estate or personal prop
erty so mortgaged shall not be released
from any liability for the payment of
the whole tax so assessed against said
real estate or personal property as now
provided by law. If said tax, so assess
| o.lo 80 10
when the same becomes due and paya-
BILE, then the tax may be paid by the
owner of the real estate or mortgagor
of chattel property, and the receipt of
the county treasurer therefor shall be
be received by the mortgage as credit
upon the debt of the mortgage, either
in the payment of interest or principal,
to the full amount of the tax so paid
as shown by the receipt.
