"That the Sheriff, Clerk of the Superior Court, xegister of Deeds and "Pownship

in part ae follows " Provided, should Cor~rnissions on collections of taxes ~'or
State, County Townehip, School Districts and other purposes exceed, ij any one year, ~
the sum of ten thousand dollars (~10,00U.00) then, and in that event, such-excess sha~'1,

of the Clerk oti Superior Court referred to in Section 2 of this A:ct exceed 9.ri any '
one year tne sum of forty five hundred dollar~, then, in ~hat eVent, such excess . / ~:-~

At ~he tmme of the passage of thie!Act the fiscal year of the Countv ended

l9ith the present Sheriff retiring when the collection of 1~30 taxes is~
dompleted say June 31st,1931, he will have been paid, based on the above
statement v~10,460.79 or ~460.79 ,ore than the ariortnt allowed for the year~
naMely ~10,000.00 ~vhile he will have Ueen ernployed in collectin~ taxes only
six months.
kVith the i.ncominir Sheriff collecting in October,.November and December 1931,
based on the above statement he will draw ~8,928,05 for three months.
Under these conditions the question ariseU as to what amount each Sheriff-
should refund, and when s~.~ch refund shall be made.
In my opinion, if an arrangement of this- kind is to continue the law should
be changed so as to require tYiis settlement at tne end of the tax year,or
po~sibly September 30th,bvculd be a nore satieiactory date except that, fixing thec
date neyond June 30th~ would cause,the General Fund to have no receipts fror~ this
source for one fi~cal year.
'dlhen the 1921 Act ~vas passed I recornmendec'. a rate of 2`o which w-as passed in
Chapter 95, bu~t for some reason Chapter 553 was Passed at the same Session raisin~
the rate to 2i~.
At the present time 1-'~f would raise $~9,819.74 v~ith a large part of the taxes
not col-lected, and .unless you feel that it tivould handicap the General ~'und (~rhich
tivould not be the case except ~^ihen the rate gets near the 15d limit} I vrould suggeyt
~ ~x your securing le~islation fixing the rate at 14f; and if you do not think this
viise, why not have the law chan~ed so that instead of paying the Sheriff and the
Clerk the " full arnount of fees turned in by them during the previous month" we
, ~+ould pay each if them 1/12th of the annual amount of such fees as are limited,
provided the funda are in hand, and the full amount of such fees as are not limited.
~ After considering this matter please pass such resolutions as ypu may
~~~p~ay~~ coneider necessary to take care of the present difficulty.
