          The oolleotlon of taxes due the State and County
oould not be hampered by the Independent sohool dlstrlots
taking advantage of the right given In ArtIole  2792 to have
the oounty tax aasesaor and oolleotor  act for them also.
          You are, therefore,  advised that the oolleotor
oan aooept the County and State taxes wIthout requiring
payment of the Independent sohool dletrlot  taxes.

                                            Yours   very truly
