Chief Dehority Informs Treasurer That Receipts May Be Redeemed.

County Treasurer Allman is in receipt of the following letter from W. A. Dehority, chief of the state board of examiners, which is self-explanatory: ■ “In answer to inquiry made of this Department a few days ago, I beg to say, upon consideration, that where a taxpayer’s road tax has actually been worked out and a receipt issued therefor, as provided by law, but the tax has been paid in cash to the treasurer, through a inlstake as to the fact that it had been worked out, the treasurer may later accept thqjreceipt from, the holder thereof and refund the amount, provided that this transaction takes place prior to the June settlement 1910. It can not be done subsequently, as' the law will thereafter be-strtet-ly construed.”
