1t appears that simultaneously with the record
ing Of the deeds papers were hled giving the con
sent of the stockholders Of the company The
Attorney General believes that though the docu-
ments appear be deeds their faces, in reality
they are mortgages to. secure 10 the Rothschilds
the payment of certain moneys
In answer to a question from the state commits
sion as to how the mortgage tax can be collected
the Attorney General says there is no law py
which action can be brought directly to collect the
tax but adds that the mortgage tax law provIdes
If a tax is not paid the mortgage cannot be dis
charged foreclosed or released and is not eN-
empted from other taxation He believes this pro-
vision Of the mortgage tax law is opplcaole 10 Ihe

The Attorney General advised the State Board of
Tax Commissioners an interesting question
The commission asked: Where a mortgage is on
a piece OF property situated in two towns in the
same county must the mortgage tax when paid,
be divided between the two towns? The Attorney
General holds that the town in which the building
or buildings on property may be situated is the
town TO receive the tax
All work TO be done by contract under the super
vision Of the State Highway Commission must be
advertised and awarded TO the lowest responsible
bidder. An opinion TO this effect given the

The commission informed the Attorney General
that there was certain work such providing
for the proposed patrol Of highways, which It be
lieved it could contract for at reasonably low fig
ures without advertising. and asked for opinion
as TO IT'S right to do so. The Attorney General
says the only way this can be done is to amend
the law.
