DUTY OF TAX COLLECTOR.

No Authority to Collect Privilege or Otn-
er License Taxes.
Tn some counties of the State the taxes
are collected by "A tax collector, instead
of by the sheriff.
In such counties, from time to TIME,
some question arises as TO the division
of official duty between these TWO Of
ficers. Such question has arisen IN
Mecklenburg county and the matter mas
been referred, by the State treasurer
to the Attorney General.
Yesterday Mr.. Walser sent the ioi-
lowing TO Mr.. Worth as his opinion on
the matter:
I'm reply to your letter of TINS date
relative TO the tax collectors elected In
Mecklenburg county. in accordance with
chapter ago, Laws of 1897, Twill say
that while | do not feel clear upon the
matter, still | incline to the opinion that
the purpose of the statute was to place
in the hands of the tax collectors the
collection of what is generally known as
property taxes and not the collection Of
privilege or other license taxes. 1t will
be much simpler for the tax collectors
10 collect only property taxes. 1t is a
matter have been unable to collect any
authorities on. but the foregoing is in
my Judgment the true construction Of the
law"
