437. The Mayor and Commissioners of Luke, during the month of
May, in each year, have power to levy an equal tax on the property within
the limits of said town or which have a situs there by reason of the resi-
dence of the owner therein, to such an amount each year, not exceeding
the sum of fifty cents on each one hundred dollars' worth of property, as
may be deemed necessary for the expenses of said town, which said taxes
so levied and assessed shall be collected promptly by the clerk of said town
and by him accounted for as collected at the end of each and every month;
and the said taxes shall be a lien from the time of levy against the prop-
erty assessed and enforceable and collected by the clerk in the same man-
ner as the Collector of Public County Taxes collects such taxes. All such
taxes levied as aforesaid shall be due and demandable on the last day of
December of the year levied, and thereafter until paid shall bear interest
at six per cent, per annum, but if paid on or before that date the Mayor
and Commissioners can allow such discount thereon as they shall deter-
mine each year as proper. And the said The Mayor and Commissioners
may appoint three persons, citizens of said town, to assess and value all
property located within said corporate limits or taxable therein and shall
pass all ordinances necessary to prescribe the duties and powers of said
assessors; provided, however, that the assessment for municipal purposes
shall not exceed the assessment for State and county purposes, or the said
Mayor and Commissioners may accept for said assessment purposes the
value placed upon the property within said town for State and county
taxation.
