115. All taxes levied by the County Commissioners shall be-
come due and in arrear on the first day of January following
the date of the levy, and shall be due and payable and bear in-
terest from the first day of September following such levy, but
no interest shall be charged if the entire taxes owed, in any
year by any taxpayer, shall be paid on or before the day when-
ever the same become due and in arrear. Within one month
after the annual levy is made, or as soon thereafter as may be
reasonably practicable, the treasurer and clerk shall give no-
tice as hereinafter mentioned once a week for three successive
weeks, by advertisement inserted in all the newspapers pub-
lished in said county, or in such of them as will insert the
notice, for the sum of three dollars, provided that the publica-
tion thereof in one of said newspapers shall be sufficient, if one
only will insert the notice of said terms. If all but one refuse
to publish the notice on said terms, said clerk shall publish the
same in the one newspaper, and also by means of handbills
conspicuously posted in two or more places in each election
district of the said county, or if all refuse, he shall give the
notice by handbills, conspicuously posted as aforesaid. If the
notice is published in all the newspapers of the county, the
clerk may also give said notice by handbills. The said notice,
in the newspapers and in the handbills, shall set forth (1) the
date of the levy, and the day on which the taxes levied shall
become due and in arrear, and the date from which the same
shall bear interest; (2) the rate per cent, for the year, imposed
on the taxable property for the State and county, respectively;
(3) the discount or rebate, that will be allowed, in the case of
any taxes, which shall be paid, on any specified day, before the
taxes become due and in arrear.

115A. The County Commissioners shall fix the commissions
to be allowed to each collector on the State and county taxes
collected by him and paid over to the Treasurer and Clerk;
provided, that no more than five per cent, shall be allowed in
any case. The Comptroller shall allow to the Treasurer and
Clerk a rebate of the amount of such commission.

115B. The Treasurer and Clerk shall keep separate accounts
of the moneys arising from State and county taxes, respective-
ly, and he shall make separate deposits thereof in a bank or
banking institution. And the moneys received by him on ac-
count of the county levy shall be disbursed exclusively for
county purposes.
