terest, penalties and fee within six months after the approval
of this Act. Any person or persons who shall thereafter ex-
ercise any powers under the charter or certificate of incorpora-
tion of any such corporation, shall be deemed guilty of a mis-
demeanor, and shall be subject to a fine of not exceeding $1,000
or to imprisonment 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, and also a list of all those corporations whose
charters or certificates of incorporation shall have been re-
vived by the payment as aforesaid of said taxes, interest, pen-
alties and fee. The Comptroller and Treasurer shall note upon
their respective records the facts of the repeal, annulment and
forfeiture of the charters or certificates of incorporation of all
corporations whose charter or certificate of incorporation have
been repealed, annulled or forfeited as aforesaid, and the
revival of those which have been revived; and the Comptroller
shall notify the State Tax Commission 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 Governor 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be repealed, annulled and forfeited, under the provisions of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 section unless all taxes, interest and penalties so due by it
are paid as aforesaid, it being the intention hereof that the
mailing of said notice shall be sufficient, and that the failure
for any reason of any such corporation to receive the notice so
mailed to it, shall in no wise affect the repeal, annullment and
forfeiture of its charter, in accordance with this section.

Nothing in this section shall be held or construed to repeal,
supersede or in any manner affect any remedy or provision of
law for the collection of any and all taxes, and the interest and
penalties due thereon.

SECTION 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall
take effect from the first day of June, 1920.

Approved April 9, 1920.
