The committee appointed to examine book
through their chairman, Mr.. Stagg, as follows !;
To the Honorable the President and Members
of the Police Jury of the Parish of st. Lam
Your committee appointed to examine the
books Of the Tax-Collector OF the Parish OF ST
Landry beg leave to report that We have care
fully examined said books for the years 1858,
1859, 1890 and 1891, showing collection Of taxes
for 1888, 1889 and 1890; also licenses for 1883,
1889. 1880 and 1891 land have found them prop
erly kept and correct, audited by the Clerk Of
|
Treasurer for each and every month,
We respectfully submit to your consideration
the accompanying statements, which are e1.
tracts from said books, showing the status of
the Tax Collector for said years.
For the year 1888 we submit detailed list
with names aud numbers and also cause for
non collection, as we found it already made by
the Tax-Colleetor. Fer the years 1889 and
1890 tile lists are 30 long that we have not made
them out il detail. You will notice the large
number Of uneollectabie taxes for the years
| Ia6r \ arr N1oY fsrY1
lector to lie caused partly by the assessment of a
large number Of judgments and notes which
were borne OF the tax rolls Of said years, and
OF which very few We're paid, the balance
being either erroneously assessed (some having
been paid previously or assessed to non-resl-
dents, who by a decree of the Sur Court
to collect because of the fact that the notes
could not be seized and produced, and the Col
leetor could f1pa no bidder on them when rf
fered for sale.
There is also another class OF taxes OF
which there must unavoidably remain a por.
ton uneoleeted, and that is such as are assessed
for one horse or some such movable when the
horse dies or the owner moves out OF the par
isl carrying his property with him,
Respectfully submitted,
PAUL STAGG, Chairman,
A. G. OLIVIER.
