SHERIFFS WILL COLLECT DOG
TAX

Sheriffs are instructed to collect
the 1917 dog tax and return 1t to the
State Auditor The dog license law of
1918 repealed the old dog tax law
before the dog assessment of 1917
was collected, and the question was
submitted to the Attorney Generals
Office whether or not 1t could be col
lected.
First Assistant Attorney General
d. o. Wyatt, In an opinion to T. M.
Jones, Assistant State Auditor. said
there was an apparent intent that
the new law should have prospective
force and not to abate the old law
insofar as 1t was operative up to the
date licenses become due under the
new act, Consequently, he advised
Mr.. Jones that the sheriffs should
collect the tax and turn II over TO
the Auditor, who then should draw
his warrants payable to the counties
for the taxes collected IN them.
