county fail to levy a tax in said county for said amount then
due said State, and shall fail at the time of levying other coun-
ty taxes thereafter to levy the tax aforesaid to amount suffi-
cient to pay the indebtedness subsequently incurred, it shall be
the duty of the attorney general to bring in the name of the
State an action against any county in the Circuit Court of such
county so failing aforesaid to enforce the levying of said tax

shall be the duty of the State Comptroller to charge such
delinquent county with a penalty of interest at one per
centum per month upon the amount of indebtedness for each
month until payment thereof and penalty thereon be paid. It
shall be the duty of the County Treasurer, upon the collection
of the taxes herein required to be levied, to pay into the State
Treasury the amount due and owing from his county at the
time and in the manner required for the payment of State
taxes collected. Whenever the superintendent of any
State hospital for the insane and Rosewood State Training
School has held and treated a patient as from one county,
and the County Commissioners of such county makes claim
that such patient is not a proper charge against the said
county, and such County Commissioners shall notify the State
Comptroller that it is claimed by them that such patient is
not a proper charge against their county, and shall claim that
the said patient is a proper charge against some other county,
it shall be the duty of the County Commissioners of each of
said counties to file such proofs as they may have with the
State Comptroller within thirty days from the time of such
notification and thereupon it shall be the duty of the State
Comptroller to investigate the question of the residence of
such patient and to determine of what county said patient is
a proper charge, and shall thereupon notify each of said
counties of such determination, and shall notify the super-
intendent of the State hospitals for the insane or Rosewood
State Training School, and the counties aforesaid shall there-
after treat and regard such patient as of the county according
to the determination of the State Comptroller, and if the State
Comptroller shall find that such patient is not a proper charge
against any county of the State, such patient shall thereafter
be regarded as a proper charge against the State at Large.
The amount incurred by any county of this State, or by the
State for treatment and maintenance for any insane person
in the State hospitals for the insane and Rosewood State
Training School shall be a charge against the estate of such
person as provided in Section 4.
