NOT TO VIOLATE THE LAW PASSED BY
LAST LEGISLATURE.
VIOLATORS LIABLE TO PUNISHMENT

Attorney General Clark W.. May has
sent out from his office a copy of a let.
ter received by him from Governor
Dawson with his comment upon 1t as
follows:
Dear Sir:-The following letter
has been addressed to this depart.
ment by the governor:
Dear Sir:-I respectfully call your
attention to chapters As, so and 67 Of
the Acts of 1905, limiting the amount
of taxes that may be levied by county
courts, boards OF education and the
councils Of municipal corporations. l
have information which leads me to
believe that in a number of instances
the law has been violated by some Of
these levying bodies. therefore
earnestly urge that you will take i'm.
mediate steps to ascertain every in
stance in which the law has been vic.
lated by any county court, board of
education or council of municipal cor.
poration. and that you will have any
illegal levy that may have been made
corrected and otherwise e that the
law is observed and enforced.
Very respectfully yours,
WIN. NJ. o. DAWSON.

the matter is submitted to a vote OF
