A GOOD FISH STORY

lions OF small mullet were uumbed
by the cold along the bay shore, and
how they were picked up by the

and do not care for repetition, but

GOVERNOR ISSUES ULTMATUM
TO TAX COLLECTORS

Your Money or Your Property The
foregoing slogan will be used by tax
collectors in Florida in the future
The edict has gone forth from Tai
lahassee making the tax collectors re.
sponsible for all uncollected taxes and
giving them to understand that they
must conform to the letter of the law
wherein their duties are concerned
There will be no more carrying over
friends, or influential acquaintance
from year to year. The tax books
must close in April and the collector
must settle with the comptroller by
the first Monday in July.
The following letter to Tax Collec-
tor s. G. Middleton will explain more
fully the duties of the collector and
the determination of the governor to
see that they are fulfilled:
State Of Florida,
Executive Chamber,
Tallahassee Jan. Z, 1919.
ITO the Tax Collectors and Boards OF
County Commissioners of the State
of Florida:
"Gentlemen:-It has been brought
to my attention by the State Auditing
Department that many of the tax col
lectors of the State of Florida still
have their books open, not only for
the year 1918 but some for the year
1917.
II am, therefore, writing you this
letter, based upon the following law:
Section Al Of Chapter 5596, Acts Of
1913 which reads in part as follows:
All taxes shall be due and pay
able on the first day of November OF
each and every year, or as soon there
after as the assessment roll may come
into the hands of the tax collector, o.
which he shall give notice by publ
cation, and the tax collector is hereby
vested with the power and 1t shall be
his duty to collect by levy and sale of
goods and chattels, lands and tene-
ments, all taxes that remain unpaid
on the first Monday in April. Section
"a Of Chapter 1896, Acts OF 1907, pro-
vides that tax collectors must have
settlement with the comptroller and
county commissioners on or before the
first Monday In July of each year.
"You can see from these laws that
1t requires courage and talent for
leadership to enable the collector of
the State to have all books closed by
the first Of July, 1919.
Owing to the non-enforcement of
these laws in the past there have been
four defalcations among the tax COL
lectors Of the State. Therefore, as
governor Of Florida, l do not propose
to show any leniency or clemency in
regard to any tax collector whose
books are still open July LIST. 1919.
for any year, and this is to give each
and every tax collector Of Florida
warning and notice that IL you do not
close out every one of your books by
the FIRST of July, 1919, and make set
Element accordingly, the governor will
be forced to see the law Is enforced
in regard to tax collectors holding
their books open later than this date,
because the governor cannot know
any man in the discharge Of his duty.
Kindly give this your careful at
tention and with best wishes,
Yours very truly.
SIDNEY J. CATS,
Governor"
