tenn at Runyon is completed the total

NEED No 7
PAY TAXES
UNDER LAW
South AmhOy One Of The Places
Where the Law Has Been
Violated.
WORRY STATE OFFICIALS
Law Says Rate This Year Must
Not be Larger Than Last
Year.

Complications of the new tax law
continue to increase. 1t is now point
ed out that where the rate is, higher
than last year it is illegal and the
people have good ground for not
paying any taxes at all. South AM
boy is one of these places and state
officials are greatly worried.
The new law is plain enough. Sec
ton / says that in municipality
where the rate was So or less in 1905
the rate shall not be exceeded in
1906. In 1907 and each year there
after the rate shall be diminished five
cents per 500 each year, until 81. rs
is reached.
Section 2 says that where the rate
in 1906 was in excess of 81 there
shall be a reduction of ten cents Il
year thereafter until 50 is reached,
after Which the reduction shall be
five cents each year until $1.75 is
reached.
Section 8 applies to county rates.
The county rate for county purposes
shall not be higher in 1906 than 1t
was in 1905, and there it shall be
reduced five cents per year per 500
until fifty cents is reached.
''All taxes levied in excess of the
limitation imposed by Sections 1, 2
and $S," the act says, "shall be void
as to such excess
Therefore it follows that wherever
the rate has been raised, the increase
is Illegal and need not be paid by the
property owners. '1t is singular"
says state authority, "that the mu-
nicipal officials did not know this fact
but very likely their ignorance is due
to the difficulty in procuring copies
of the state laws of this year in index.
