The county tax collector office ends with the new law, creating county treasurer. John G. Bower Jr steps into the treasurer role and is expected to swear in today. His commission came from Governor Ritchie as he filed his bond and likely qualifies this afternoon. The measure redefines duties and eases bonding for future officials. The county treasurer will collect both city and county automobile taxes before new licenses are issued.
