The County Attorney, ~r. ~areden Bellamy,ruled that he considered mutual insurance legal,if the policy conforms vrith the 1av~s of North Ca,rolina and its liability and premiums are limited. The legal question arose when hir. H.G.Latimer and NIr.F.E.Livingston, local mutual agents ~ ~h S~asked for a share of the County's insurance at a saving of 25J to the County over stock• companies. The Board wa.s informed-by the members of the Local Board of Fire UndertvriterB'~ that the two mutual representatives sha,red a prorata part of the premiums paid by the , City of ~9ilmington without assuming any of the risk, and proposed that the same policy be adopted for the County. It was the feeling of this Board that the question to be considered was the adoption of a form of i~n`siu~;nce that would mean a saving of 25~ to • the tax payers.

Any remainder to be applied to property' " taaees and divided between City and the County on a basis of' the then proportion of 2/3 and 1/3 and thia was generally done. It has been called to my attention however that thie practice-wae not Y'ollowed ~ ~ in handling"the 1934 taxes. • The effect of' the failure to do this is illustrated by the handling of the ~ ` f oilowing receiptss ~ ~ #1748 dated ~arch 9th,1935 was handled as follows .

I think it would be ~e11 that.you issue instructions to the tax collector to the • efi'ectt ' • . , That no partial paymen't be accepted that is not sufficient to cover the poll and dog •, ~ tax. That so much of the first payment as is necessary be applied to the poll aiid dog tax• ~ and distri~buted accordingly. • • That only the property tax be divided on a percentage basis. , By handling the matter as suggested would insure the County and each of its.funds being credited wi.th the proper proportion of collections and would eliminate considerable • ~ time now required for the Public Accountant in an endeavor to trace out these various differ- ~ enees in an eff'ort to see triat the 2'unds reach their proper destination. ~ Yours truly, .
