the said commissioners may apply and appropriate the funds
arriving from such tax as well as other funds and money

and apparatus; for removal of garbage, obstructions and

refuse to pay said taxes on demand, then the bailiff shall
furnish to such person an account showing the aggregate of
his tax, or if he be absent, deliver the same at the place of
his last residence, and unless the same be paid to the bailiff
within thirty days after such account shall have been
