all along.
Difference in Statutes.

deeds conveying property valued at
not more than $500 requires fees OF
so cents each. For over 5000 and not
more than 81 900 the fee was 81
Fer every additional hundred over
$1,000 an additional fee of 10 cents
was collected by the recording clerk
some changes were made in the
Law by the last Legislature, the new
statute going into effect last March
clerks. however. have continued un-
der the old system, and because they
have failed TO collect taxes which the
attorney-generai now says were due
they may have to make them good

General Williams In case raised in
Bristol Il kind OF double tax is required
