In the acts of 1919, a page 218, and thereafter, may be found a cofry of the law, that is now in force. This law requires the township assessor to make a complete record of all dogs owned or harbored by residents of his township. And, until,he returns the dog list to the township trustee, the assessor shall collect all of the dog tax as required by law; When his assessment of the property of the township is completed, he then delivers —to the township trustee—his dog records, with a complete list of dog owners, who at that date, have not paid their dog tax to the assessor. Thereafter—-on the first day of June] —the trustee according to law, ■shall | deliver to the prosecuting attorney, | a complete list of the names of all dog owners who have not paid their dog tax, to said date. The prosecutor is by law empowered to proceed to collect such said dog tax by suit; and, is allowed five dollars, as his fee in each case, which fee! is assessed to, and collected from, the delinquent dog tax debtor. Section, 52, of the said enactment makes it .a demeanor punishable by a fine, of from five to twenty dollars I “to keep, harbor, board or feed or permit any dog to stay about his or her or their premises—unless the dog tax on such dog has been paid by the resident owner.” The State Bord of Accounts, has decided that the law in effect when the tax is paid, by the | dog owner, is the one, that determines i the amount of dog tax that he shall! be required to pay. The following letter to one of the! township trustees is explanatory of itself of this matter: “Mr. , Trustee. May 16, T 9 In reply to your favor of the 14th, I beg to advise that the new tax law became effective March 12th , and dogs assessed ’prior to that date,
