TAX COLLECTORS
DUTIES SET FORTH
Test Ruling Gives Powers of
Carroll County Official
to Successor.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
| MOUNT AIRY, Md, July 11.-De-
spite the fact that he has only been
tax collector for Carroll County since
| July /, c. Robert Brilliant has the
duty to collect the unpaid State taxes
| levied for 1880 and 1881, and the un-
paid county taxes levied for the years
1929. 1890 and 1881" according to an
opinion handed down in the Carroll
| County Circuit Court by Chief Judge
Francis N1al Parke.
The decision followed the institution
OF a suit by Mr.. Brilliant against M. c.
Keefer, retiring county tax collector to
! determine which must be charged with
| the responsibility of collecting Carroll
! County taxes due in 1926. 1927, 1928,
| 1929 and 1880. Mr.. Keefer, who has
t held the job of county tax collector
since 1919, was Of the opinion that he
was not responsible for taxes which
| became due during his tenure In Office
and which had not been paid by July /.
/ 1881. When his term of office expired,
Mr.. Keefer held that his responsibility
| for collecting taxes In arrears also
ended.
Law Not Entirely Clear.
| Mr.. Brilliant was under the impression
! that he would not be held responsible
! for taxes which were due and payable
during years when he had no connection
! whatever with the collection Of taxes
in Carroll County. The law relating to
| collection Of taxes was not entirely clear
! upon that point and accordingly Mr..
Brilliant brought suit in order to obtain
an official opinion on that technicality.
Mr. Brilliant instituted suit against the
! retiring collector M. c. Keefer, to de-
termine whether the existing law would
hold him responsible for collection of
| taxes during years he was not tax col
| lector.
The case was argued before Chief
| Judge F. Neal Park. In order to bring
the argument to q suit, Keafer, retiring
| collector, refused to surrender the tax
books and records Of 1926, 1927, 1928,
1929 and 1880. Judge Parke said:
whenever by death, resignation, ex-
piration of term of Office or otherwise,
one collector shall BE- succeeded by an
other, the succeeding collector shall, as
to any taxes which ought to or could
or might have been, but were not, col
lectsd by the former collector, possess all
the powers Of the former collector. -
(Acts of 1920
Duties Are Defined.
1t follows as a necessary consequence
OF the terms OF the act that the former
State and county tax collector, McClel-
iaA ". neefcr, mas the outy to account
Tor and to collect the unpaid State taxes
levied In the year 1929, and in the pre-
cedlng years Of his incumbency and
the unpaid county taxes levied in the
year 1928. and the preceding years of
MS 1ncumbency, but that C. Robert Bril-
mart, the present State and county tax
collector has the duty to collect the I'M
paid State taxes levied for the years
1880 and 1881, and the unpaid county
taxes levied for the years 1929, 1880
and 1881"
Mr.. Keefer also was ordered to deliver
to the county commissioners the tax
records covering the years during which
he has been collector.

I,oLLENGA EXPLAINS
FAIRFAX ROAD STAND
c. of c. Manager Only Against
Pohick-Annandale Project Until
Richmond Highway Widened.

BY stan Correspondent Of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, July 11.-An-
swering the storm Of criticism that has
come from portions Of Fairfax County
to his announced opposition to the
State improving the highway from Po-
hick to Annandale and on to Washing
ton. Dan s. Hollenga, business manager
Of the local Chamber of Commerce,
states that there has been a colossal
misunderstanding" Of his position In
the matter.
His statement Mr.. Hollenga ex-
planned, was not meant to convey an
opposition by the local chamber to the
road being improved out Of Fairfax
County funds, but was directed against
the States spending any money to I'M
prove this road when. the main highway
from this city south to Fredericksburg
was so badly in need Of widening and
improving.
Residents Of sections Of Fairfax
County along Route No. l, the main
highway south. are also opposed to the
States spending money on a side or
lateral road where the main highway
needs the expenditure of considerable
money, Mr. Hollenga said.
Should the State Highway Commits
sion agree to improve Route No. /, TAX
ing out many Of the dangerous turns,
he would have no opposition to the
expenditure Of money on the Pohick-
Annandale road, Mr.. Hollenga said.
