IFS office in the Pascagoula
court house on October | and
continue through the dendline on
October 81, Sheriff D. 0. New
man announced this week.
In making the announcement
Sheriff Newman also pointed out
a ruling of Attorney General
Greek L. Rice that license tags
cannot be issued to vehicles on
which adj valorem taxes for the
preceding year have not been
paid.
According to the ruling a per-
son applying for a license must
present an original II duplicate
tax receipt or other proof of pny-
ment of such taxes in order to
obtain the license. This applies
even where a vehicle has been
sold, and the original party liable

to obtain a license under these
circumstances il is necessary that
the vehicle be back-assessed and
the taxes due on it paid.
Sheriff Newman urged auto
mobile owners TO obtain their new
