A Supplement to the act vesting certain powers in the commissioners
of the tax of Anne-Arundel county, and for other
purposes. |
Passed December
17. |
WHEREAS the directions of the said act could not
be fully complied
with, by reason of the shortness of the time limited for a final settlement
by the collectors of the several districts: |
Preamble. |
II. Be it enacted,
by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the commissioners
of the tax for Anne-Arundel county shall, as soon as may be after the
passage of this act, proceed to appoint collectors for those districts
for which
none could be procured under the aforesaid act, who shall, on giving bond
with
sufficient security, to be by them approved, proceed to collection; and
the said
commissioners may allow the said collectors a reasonable time to make their
collection,
provided a final settlement with the treasurer shall take place on or before
the tenth day of September next. |
Commissioners
to appoint
collectors,
&c. |
III. And be
it enacted, That the collectors so appointed shall have the same
powers in their respective districts as are given to collectors in the
several counties,
and they shall be entitled to the same commission on collection, and subject
to
the same penalties, as collectors are liable to by the act to raise the
supplies for
the year seventeen hundred and eighty-six. |
Same powers
given, &c. |
IV. And,
whereas in some of the counties within this state, the commissioners
of the tax have proceeded to assess and direct the collection of the two
shillings
and six-penny fund tax, and in others such measures have not been taken,
owing
to doubts as to their power, Be it enacted,
That the commissioners of the tax
in the several counties, be and they are hereby authorised and directed
to take the
necessary measures to effect the collection of the said fund tax for each
of the years
seventeen hundred and eighty-seven, and seventeen hundred and eighty-eight;
and in the appointment of collectors, and making the necessary regulations
for |
Commissioners
to
effect the collection
of the
fund tax, &c. |
