lication of such proclamation, unless all such taxes, together with all in-
terest and penalties due thereon, are paid before the expiration of said
thirty days. The Governor shall cause said proclamation to be published
in at least three daily newspapers of general circulation published in the
State, once a week for four successive weeks. Any such corporation paying
all taxes, interest and penalties as aforesaid, after the first publication of
said proclamation, shall be omitted from subsequent publications thereof.
Immediately upon the expiration of thirty days from the date of the first
publication of said proclamation, the charters or certificates of incorpora-
tion of all such corporations which have not then paid all taxes, interest
and penalties due as aforesaid, shall be ipso facto repealed, annulled and
forfeited and the powers granted to such corporation shall be inoperative,
null and void, without the necessity of proceedings of any kind either at
law or in equity. Provided, that any corporation whose charter or certifi-
cate of incorporation shall be forfeited under this section, may, within six
months thereafter revive the same and reinvest itself with all the powers
conferred upon it by law under said charter or certificate of incorporation
by the payment of all such taxes, interest and penalties and an additional
fee of twenty-five dollars.

(b) The Secretary of State is directed to send copies of each of the said
proclamation of the Governor to the Comptroller, to the Treasurer and to
the State Tax Commission, and also a list of all those corporations whose
charters or certificates of incorporation shall have been revived by the pay-
ment as aforesaid of said taxes, interest, penalties and fee. The Comp-
troller and Treasurer shall note upon their respective records the facts of
the repeal, annullment and forfeiture of the charters or certificates of in-
corporation of all corporations -whose charter or certificate of incorporation
have been repealed, annulled or forfeited as aforesaid, and the revival of
those which have been revived; and the Comptroller shall notify the State
Tax Commission of the same, to the end that the State Tax Commission
may note the same upon its records. It shall be the duty of the Comptrol-
ler, at the time he certifies said corporations to the Governor as aforesaid,
also to mail to each corporation so certified, at its address or office as the
same appears upon his books, a notice that its charter will be repealed, an-
nulled and forfeited, under the provisions of this section unless all taxes,
interest and penalties so due by it are paid as aforesaid, it being the inten-
tion hereof that the mailing of such notice shall be sufficient, and that the
failure for any reason of any such corporation to receive the notice so
mailed to it, shall in no wise affect the repeal, annullment and forfeiture
of its charter, in accordance with this section.

(c) Nothing in this section shall be held or construed to repeal, super-
sede or in any manner affect any remedy or provision of law for the collec-
tion of any and all taxes, and the interest and penalties due thereon.
