Prosecuting Attorney Mr. Waiien,
made his report to the board and sub
mittcd the opinion OF the Attorney
General as follows;
October fourteenth,
Nineteen-fifteen.
Mr.. A. j. Waifen,
Prosecuting Attorney,
Iron River. Michigan.
Dear Mr.. waffen:-
have zone over with you
the question which IS low pending be-
fore your Board OF Supervisors with
reference TO the mineral reserve as
easements in your County. AS ] underA
stand the situation, in some OF the
townships the supervisors have as
sessed the mineral rights separately In
accordance with the provisions OF Act
No. 81 OF the Public Acts OF 1911; In
other townships OF your County the
mineral rights have not been so as
sessed.
BY Act No. ll9 OF the Public Acts OF
1915, Act No. 81 OF 1911 was repealed.
The repeating Act. however, did not
take effect until August "a, 1915.
Therefore. the assessment OF mineral
rights was lawful at the time the as
sessment roll was made up by the gu
pervisor and was also lawful At the
time OF the meeting OF the Board Of
Review. Therefore. the roll as made
up, which included mineral rights,
was lawful roll The collection OF the
taxes levied hereunder. however. was
defeated and the right to collect sus-
pended by Act No. 119 of 1915.
Act No. 1l9 OF 1915, In section 2
thereof, provides: "The Auditor Gen
crai is hereby authorized, empowered
and directed to cancel all taxes re-
manning undischarged as appears from
the records OF his Office. or that May
hereafter be returned 10 his sface up
on the assessment OF mineral. coal,
ETC."
I am impressed that question Of
policy In involved In tho matter sub
mitted by you as well As = question OF
aw and. after giving the matter full
consideration. viewing II from its ie-
gal aspect rs well as from the stand
point Of public policy, have reached
the conclusion, and 80 advise ron.
that in my judgment, the Board Of
Supervisors should leave all rolls as
prepared by the supervisor. I do not
believe that the Board OF Supervisors

descriptions. The fact that the right to
collect the taxes on the mineral rights
has been suspended by an Act OF the
Legislature In no wise renders de-
fectiye or illegal the assessment OF the
other property. Taxes levied upon
other property will be collected. and
will be collectible beyond question,
and the Auditor General will, at the
proper time. cancel the taxes upon the
mineral rights.
therefore advise that no attempt
be made by the Board OF Supervisors
TO change the assessment rolls In any
particular but that they be left as they
are and that at the proper time the as
sessments under Act No. 81 OF 1911 will
be cancelled by the Auditor General
under the power and authority given
him by Act No. 119 or the Public Acts
OF 1915.
