said Treasurer shall receive county certificates of indebtedness
from persons owing county taxes to the amount of the taxes
due by them, respectively; provided, the said certificates are
payable out of the levy of the current year, and he shall
reserve out of the money so collected by him a sufficient sum
to pay the amount levied in each current year for public
schools, and shall pay the same over to the Board of County
School Commissioners, one fourth each, on or before the first
of November, February, April and July. In cases of sale of
real estate, when it is found that a part of the property
upon which the tax is levied and in default will pay the whole
amount of taxes, the said Treasurer shall sell only such part of
said real estate as may be necessary to pay the said taxes.
He shall be entitled to the following fees — for giving notice
and making levy to enforce the payment of any tax bill, the
sum of fifty cents, and in addition thereto, for the property to
be sold he shall receive when sold, as poundage fee, 3 per
cent, on the gross amount of sale; but if the amount of bill
be paid without sale, after advertising, he shall only receive,
as poundage fee, 1 per cent, on amount collected — these
several fees to be charged against the tax bill of the delin-
quent taxpayer.
