territory.
By an act of the last legislature it wa
provided, with reference to the paymen
of taxes, that con the 1st day of Januar
of each year one half of the unpaid take

The object of that law was to reliev
the burden of the taxpayer, by deferrin
the day of payment of oLehalf of hi
taxes for six months-the theory bein
that the taxes levied we're sufficient to pa
the expenses of the county and territor
