authorizing the councils of the city of Norfolk to appoint a collector of
delinquent personal taxes for the city of Norfolk, and fixing his duties,
powers, term of office, and compensation, be amended and re-enaeted so
as to read as follows:

The councils of the city of Norfolk are hereby authorized and em-
powered to appoint for the city of Norfolk from time to time an officer,
to be known as the collector of delinquent personal taxes due the city
of Norfolk, but not state taxes, and fix his duties, powers. compensation
and term of office, a single term not, however, to exceed two years. The
collector of delinquent personal taxes shall have all the powers for col-
lecting delinquent personal taxes which are now, or may hereafter be,
vested in a sheriff, or collector of state taxes, or in the collector of city
taxes and levies for the city of Norfolk, in regard to the collection of
personal taxes; and said powers shall continue as long as the tax bills
are in his hands for collection. The city councils may determine by
ordinance what delinquent city personal taxes shall be collected by the
collector of city taxes and levies, and what shall be collected by the col-
lector of delinquent personal taxes; and they may prescribe the mode of
proceeding of the collector of delinquent personal taxes, and the mode
of proceeding against him for failure to perform his duties.

2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
