EMERSON C. HARRINGTON, GOVERNOR. 767

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. Imme-
diately upon the expiration of thirty days from the date of
the first publication of said proclamation, the charters or
certificates of incorporation 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aforesaid, shall be ipso facto repealed, annulled and forfeited,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 corporations shall be inopera-
tive, null and void, without the necessity of proceedings of any
kind either at law or in equity. Any person or persons who
shall thereafter exercise or attempt to exercise any powers
under the charter or certificate of incorporation of any such
corporation, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and
shall be subject to a fine not exceeding $1,000, or to imprison-
ment not exceeding one year, or to both fine and imprisonment,
In the discretion of the Court.

The Secretary of State is directed to send copies of each of
the said proclamations of the Governor to the Comptroller of
the Treasury, to the Treasurer of the State and to the State
Tax Commission. The Comptroller and the Treasurer shall
note upon their respective records the fact of the repeal, an-
nulment and forfeiture of the charters or certificates of incor-
poration of all corporations whose charters or certificates of
incorporation have been repealed, annulled and forfeited as
aforesaid; and the Comptroller shall notify the State Tax Com-
mission 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
Comptroller, at the time he certifies said corporations to the Gov-
ernor 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notice that its charter will be repealed, annulled and forfeited,
under the provisions of this Act, unless all taxes, interest and
penalties so due by it are paid as aforesaid, it being the inten-
sion hereof that the mailing of said notice shall be sufficient, and
that the failure for any reason of any such corporation to re-
ceive the notice so mailed to it, shall in no wise affect the repeal,

annullment arid forfeiture of its charter, in accordance with
this Act.

Nothing in this Section shall be held or construed to repeal,

supersede or in any manner affect any remedy or provisions
of law for the collection of any and all such taxes, and the
interest and penalties due thereon.
