Treasury Law Revives Tax Collection In Caroline County
The county treasurer turned over $3,500 in unsettled tax accounts to the sheriff last Saturday. After deductions for insolvencies of about $1,500, about $2,000 remains to be collected. The law requires close of business by June first and a balance done by the first Tuesday in June for the year 1892. This year’s results are praised as the best in memory, with over $45,000 collected under the new system, far above previous performance. The reform is credited to the new treasury law, with fewer yearly collections expected for the sheriff. The Carolinian praised the law as business-like and popular.
