BOND OWNERS NAMES
 MUST BE STATED

Attorney General Frank E. Healy has given an opinion to G. Harold Gflparric, treasurer of the state on the matter of placing names and addresses on bonds. notes and other choses in action on which tax is to be paid as follows:
 opinion thereon the following question:
 Can the treasurer of the state un- der chapter 2S4 of the public acts of 919. require, as q condition of the pay ment of taxes on bonds. notes and other choses in action, the name of the owner of such bonds. notes and other choses in action on which the tax is to be paid?''
 The only change made by the legis- ldture of 1919 in this law was to re- quire said treasurer to make a record of the name and address of the own er." instead of the name and address Of the party presenting the bonds notes or other choses in action and in the treasurer return to the town clerk rhe statute is amended to carry out the foTesoing change in the law. The in tention of the legislature in making this change is clearly expressed by the change in the wording of the statute The duty devolving upon the trea surer is set forth in the following language:
 Said treasurer shall keep d record of such inducements and receipts, with description of such bonds, notes and other chooses in action. together with the name and address of the owner and the date of registration"
 This language leaves no discretion with you in carrying out the provisions of the law in making the record con- tain the facts as set forth in the statute.
 The sta tute provides that the tax shall be paid under such resula tions as the treasurer may provide"
 You have esta blished regulations re- quiring all the facts mentioned in the statute to be set forth in your appH- ca ton blanks for the purpose of mak- ing the record required by law. before the tax can be paid to the state. I think such a policy comes within the and. unless the ownership of these bonds, notes and other choses in action is disclosed at the time when they are presented for the payment of the tax on them. you can refuse to receive them for taxa ton purposes.
 This statute favors owners of such securities by allowing them to pay a very small tax to the state. and empts them from taxation in the nut nicipaiity where the owner has legally resided. No one is compelled to take advantage of this statute. They can list such property locally and pay the local tax to their own municipality but if they desire to pay the state tax on the class of property as set forth in the statute. they should comply with the requirements adopted by you. which, i nny judgment, are very reasonable.
