Chap. 127.—An ACT allowing E. C. Marshall, Jr., treasurer of Clarke
county, time to make his return of delinquents and insolvents in the
revenue of 1875

Approved March 5, 1877.

Whereas by the twenty-eighth section of the act prescrib-
ing the duties, powers, liabilities, and compensation of cer-
tain county officers, providing for the collecting of taxes, and
for the repeal of chapters thirty-seven and forty-six of the
Code of eighteen hundred and seventy-three, approved
March twenty-ninth, eighteen hundred and seventy-five, as
amended by the act approved March twenty-ninth, eighteen
hundred and seventy-six, the treasurers of the several coun-
ties of the commonwealth are allowed to be credited by the
auditor of public accounts with the amount of delinquents
and insolvents uncollected by them, if the return thereof be
presented at his office within three months next after the
final settlement of their accounts, but not otherwise; and
whereas E. C. Marshall, Junior, the treasurer of Clarke county,
did not make the said return within the time so prescribed,
on account of the failure of the county court to certify the
same; but presented it a short time thereafter, whicb, under
the law, the auditor was prohibited to receive; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly, That the said
treasurer shall be, and is hereby allowed until the twenty-
fifth of April, eighteen hundred and seventy-seven, to make
return of his caid delinquent and insolvent lists for the year
eighteen hundred and seventy-five, and if made out and cer-
tified according to law by that time, the auditor of public ac-
counts is hereby authorized to allow the proper credit there-
for in the final eettlement of the accounts of said treasurer.

2. This act shail be in force from its passage. <
