PROCLAMATION ON
DELINQUENT TAXES
Little Rock, Jan. 5.—After quite a
engthy conference in the office of
Gov. C. H. Brough Friday afternoon,
attended by the members of the
State Tax Commission, Attorney
General, State Auditor and officials
of Pulaski county, a decision was
reached to simplify the proclamation
of Gov. Brough relieving delinquent
property owners of the penalty for
not assessing. The proclamation by
Gov. Brough was made to give relief
to many who were unaware of the
change in the laws made bj the
1917 legislature. They are relieved
of all but the $1 penalty, escaping
the 25 per cent clause.
In Pulaski county the tax books
aie different from other counties in
that the $1 and 25 per cent penalties
are not separated. The penalties aie
all together. The county clerk is
atuhorized to make the changes and
then the legislature must be asked
to compensate him for his labors
The tax books of other counties are
uniform and the 25 per cent can be
omitted without difficulty.
