to Extend Tim« tor Payment.
Salem, Oi., Aug. 15.—Under the
new law for the collection of delinquent
taxes, unpaid taxes be«<>me delinquent
after tbe tir.-t Monday it* October. H*«
county courts have aliaolutely no juris-
«liction in tbe promisee and do not have
the right to extend fur a day the tiaie
for the collet tion U any such delin-
<|Uent taxes. Under the old law they
becamo delinquent after April 1, but
the county court ha«i the authority to
make such extension of the time in
which to maxe the collections as was
<!eeme«l proper. But under the new law
the taxes will absolutely beoome delin
quent after the first Monday in Octo
bar.
Section 14 of tbe law now in opera
tion prescribes the times of payment,
the amount of penalty and interest for
delinquencies, etc.
Section 19 of tbe same act treats
with the delinquent roll and prescribes
when and in what manner it shsll be
made.
It is as follows:
If any of the taxes mentioned in the
roll shall remain unpaid, and the sher
iff shall be unable to collect the same,
he shall immediately after the first
Monday of Octoher extend the amount
i of tbe tax on each several ;>arcel of real
i property, and upon the personal prop
erty assesse«! to each individual, in a
column provided for such purpose on
the tax roll, headed delinquent, and
shall return such roll, together with a
statement compiled therefrom, and en
tered thereon show ing the total amount
of double asees.-ments, and other errors,
etc.
Subsequent sections of the act pro
vide that after tbe examination by the
county clerk of the roll, and when the
proper credits have lieen made for er
rors, etc , then the roll shall 1« re
turns 1 to the sheriff with a warrant
commanding him to sell the property
uj-m which the tax was levied.
So it will be seen that the county
court has no voice in the matter. The
time when the unpaid taxes become
.«leiinjuent, as well as the time of their
collection now lieing regulated entirely
by statute, and there will lie no ex-
tension of time.
