first Monday in March and the first
Monday in July. From the reading
OF the decision, by simply transferring
his personal property on the second
day Of March any man can escape pay

first day. This transfer may be for q
nominal consideration and done for
the expressed purpose Of defrauding
the tax collector This in turn works
hardship on the assessor or rather
upon his bondsmen. as the assessor is
liable on his official bond for the nom
