Any such tax remaining unpaid sixty days after 1t became due must report such taxes to the motor vehicle commissioner who will suspend the registration cer- tificate on the car envolved until he produces a tax receipt showing that the tax has been paid.

In some instances these taxes amount to but a few cents yet letter sent to the own CT will not bring forth the requir- ed amount. The collector on sev- eral occasions will have to send out many letters, or even pay a personal visit before the amount is forthcoming. Of course there are in some of the tracts that sur round Oakville, numerous lots where the recorded owners have apparently abandoned the lots. In such cases the lots are being sold as rapidly as a buyer can be se- cured.
