Warrant for Tax Collections Questioned in Jan 1954
A Journal report reveals Harry B. Smith says he signed the 1933 tax collector’s warrant in January 1954, not months earlier as claimed. He received the document from G H Geiger, who implied it was a duplicate of an original. The board’s minutes from 1928 and prior actions raise questions about authority, collection procedures, and legal basis. The Board will review the irregularities and the collector’s qualification for 1984 collections.
