;~~as ~1a;605:52. The collections for the five months Feby to June 193U inclusive
was ~12,943.~9 so that -the balance on June 30th, 1931 should be $~26,648.81 less~
siach shrinlc~,ge in receipts as may be due to the depression; but`as during the last ~
tnree months the receipts were only ~?75.13 less than durSng the same period of
last year the balance should not be much, if any, less i;nan ~26,000.00.

counties for r.iaintenance done under State Supervision and I ~i~ould suggest that

Gentlemens_
Referrin~ to an act passed by the 1931 General Assembly in accordance~ ••
~~poy, Qsse~b~ ivith an agreement between your Board and the I.egislators requiring the County ~
-~ Auditor to pay to the 5heriff and Clerk of tlle Court.each month~ one tr~elfth .
the annual allowance on fees that are liinited. -
. I made up a statement of the Clerks account to April lst as per atl;ached/.~
~ ~
copy and called on him for a refund of §278.54. 49hen the Clerk undertook to make
settlement for April he did not provide for this refund but advised me that anotlier
Act passed later elixainating the Cles•k froin these requirementa; I~vas therefore
compelled to refuse his settlement. ,
If the~later.;Act eliminates the Clerk until the end of the year as claimed, '
it is quite likely the county ;~ill lose the .~'p278.54 for the reason that it may be ~
absorbed in making payment of salary to~tne additional clerk recently allowed by.
your Board, unless your Iioard makes some arrangement to the contrary; the clerk havin~
Ueen enployed durin~ the latter part of Apxil. '
Rs to the Sheriff I~~~ish to stat'e he ha.s met the requirements of the ney la~tr
by leaving ~ith the County Auditor all commissions accruing since the receipt of V
certified copy of the Ac~, but prior to that time he had been paid coimnissi.oris'for ~
the collection of 1930 taxes as follows:

~ Wilmington,N.C., June 4th,1931.
Honorable Board oi Conmis.sioners,
New Hanover County,:~e:'..~
Wilmington, N. C. '
Gentlemen:-
In my letter of Idovember 15th,1930 I called your attention to the~necessity
' of legislation to straighten a tangle in the fee syste~n law in order to prevent ,~
the county from losing several thousand dollars in ~ax cotmnissions; as a result a
conference ~vas called by your board with $heriff Jackaon, Sheriff P~orris, and our
Senator and xepresentative all of whom agreed on a bill and if my memory serves me
right both Sheriff Jackson and Sheriff Idox~ris signed their names to the bi1-1 approving
its proaisions.
Thie bill known as S.B. lJo. 224 ratified March 2nd, 1931, provides in section 3
"~hat nothing in this Act shall be cons~rued to authorize the paycnent of more than ten v
thous~nd dollars in addition to the cost of newspaper adver~ising of land sales, for
the collection of taxes for any one year". '
On June lst, Sheriff Jackaon called for a payment of ~585.2? for account of `
salary ( or corrnnission ) for the ffionth of ]14ay. Upon receipt of hia request I raade up
a statement of hia account based on my interpretation of i:he law.
t~ copy of this statement is hereto attached and shows a balance of ~1,791.67 ~
due the Sheriff for account of conm'iissions on taxes for the year 1930 rrhich he is now
collecting. If the Sheriff is to remain in office until September 30th, no payments
woul.d be due him until July. "

If the Sheriff were to make "a fu11 and complete settlement on the firet Monday ~
in July" as required by Section 6~ Chapter 2i3 Fublic Lativs 1927 or even by ,Tuly 14th, ~_
1931 he could be paid in full for all time served Qrithout exceeding the ~10,000.00 limit. '
I understand from the Sheriff that it is his intention to continue until September
' ' 30th~ To pay him on the basis he claims until that time would cost the county ~12,126.91V
or ~2,126.91 more than ~10,000.00. .
~ ' '' The commissions for the collection of taxes has never cost more than ~~10,000.00 ~
' for any otner one year. ~
Respectfully submitted,

In answer to the question raised by the Sheriff as to ~vha,!t action ahould be taken
' i q in casas where a tax payer, wishing to pay in installments, offers to pay on time,

) his opinion (whieh ~vas approved by the Board) as follows;
~y
, If a tax pa.yer who failed to make the first~rpayment by Novanber 30th,offers
, a payment prior to-January 31st, must in order to secure the benefit of this plan,
• uralce a payment of one half the tax at that time; and if later paymenta are made int
accordance with tk~e lae~ no penalty is to be charged. If the th~rd and fourth
' payments are'not made by Bdarch'31st, and April 30th, respectively, then and in that
~ case the tax payer shall pay the penalty in effect at the time the payment is made
and shall,be required to complete the full payment of the tax.
If a tax,payer makes the first payment on or before November'30th,but fails .
to make the second payment before IIfanuary 31st, he shall when making the next payment ~
be requYred to pay the entire remainder'of the full amount of the tsx and shall pay
, ' the penalty in effect at the time the payment ie made. ~
` The Clerk was directed to address a letter to the Sheriff and call his attention to
' Section , Chapter 83, Public La~vs 1931, which requires a property owner, owning
" more than one parcel of land and wishing to gay on any one of them, to pay the tax qn
f~~~e ~ the personal property listed by such tax payer, after releasing said parcel of land.
If ar~y other person interested in any such parcel of land wishes to pay on such
~ parcel he may be permitted to do so provided he sYiall pay on a ratable share of the
' personal property listed by the tax payer listing said land for taxes.

Gentlemen:- , ,
With referencb to back taxes I beg to advise that tve now have the £orms
for the'new record and,are preparing to make the transfer, but before doing so we feel
that something should be dpne evith the "various ~cases how in "suit.

We find an item of taxes on Block 185 for i916 amounting to ~29:63 for which
no suit has'been brought by Mr. Cole and the present collectors apparently took for
granted this item~had been sued for and they have done nothing in the matter.
There is another item on the same block for 18'JO aznounting to'~15•57
concernin~ which there has.apparently been no action tak,en.
Is,it not possible to have B~r.Cole make up a list of all suits brou~ht by
him, which ha~f`e not been settled in order that Mess. Bellau~y & Bellamy may be able to know
whether or not they should bring suit. y
There are many cases where suit has been brought by I~r.Cole, and by reason of
the fact that settlement ie not required in these cases the present collectors are
handicapped in their eff'orts to collect for the years follovring 1926. - .
