Notice to Taxpayers
y H IG

When the undersigned gave public
notice that all taxes were due and
payable on September l and that if
not paid by that date interest would
be charged from September l, he did
SO because the certified copy of the
law, relating to the payment of taxes,
which was sent from Annapolis to this
office for publication, prescribed Sep
TENDER I as the date from which in
terest should be charged. 1t appears
that the law had been amended to read
October l upon which date interest
should be charged without any notice
of such amendment coming to the
Treasurer attention. The, law, how
ever, as finally published makes the
date October l, and | hereby give no.
tice accordingly, for the benefit of the
taxpayers.
