Board and produce copy of the deed of
purchase so as to have the change of owner
Ship properly recorded on the filed books. If
this course is not pursued by a purchaser
he must pay twenty cents at the time OF the
filing of the deed in the Registers office, SO
SO as to compensate that office for
forwarding to the Tax Commissioners
not later than five days after the deed is
filed for record, an abstract of it
and the change of ownership, clearly
stated with the Tax Board This
will put stop to the levying Of assessments
against the wrong owners
The Tax Board will confer with the Regis
ter on the enforcement of the law this after
