HERBERT R. O'CONOR, GOVERNOR. 859
(b) The Secretary of State is directed to send copies
of each of the said proclamations of the Governor to the
Comptroller, to the Treasurer and to the State Tax Com-
mission. The Comptroller, Treasurer and State Tax
Commission shall note upon their respective records the
facts of the repeal, annulment and forfeiture of the
charters of all corporations whose charters have been
repealed, annulled or forfeited as aforesaid, and the revival
of those which have been revived as provided by Section
144½ of this Article. It shall be the duty of the Comp-
troller, 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his books, a notice that its charter will be repealed, annulled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
such 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, annulment
and forfeiture of its charter, in accordance with this
Section.
(c) Whenever it is established to the satisfaction of
the Governor that any corporation named in said procla-
mation has not neglected or refused to pay said tax
within nine months from the first day of January next
after the expiration of the calendar year during which
said taxes became due and payable, or has been mistakenly
reported to the Governor by the Comptroller as refusing
or neglecting to pay such taxes as aforesaid, the Governor
is authorized to correct such mistake and to make the
same known by filing his proclamation to that effect in
the office of the Secretary of State who shall send a copy
thereof to the Comptroller, to the Treasurer and to the
State Tax Commission. The effect of such proclamation
shall be to restore to said corporation its charter with the
same force and effect to all intents and purposes as if said
charter had at all times remained in full force and effect.
(d) 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.
SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall
take effect June 1, 1939.
Approved May 11, 1939.
