ATTORNEY GENERAL ON TAX MATTERS {Continued from Page One) for taxes for prior or subsequent years to the taxes included in the certificate held by the private per- son, firm or corporation. “In section 3 it is provided that in making the assessment for 1933 and all subsequent years, all lands shall be assessed against the bona fide owners. If not ascertainable, then unknown, regardless’ of the fact ‘that there are’ unpaid ‘ out- standing..tax certificates — against such lands. In other words, the assessment shall be made just the same as though there were.no out- j standing unpaid tax certificates, Per in To Pay “It is also provided in this sec- tion that owners of land shall be permitted to pay taxes for the year 1932 even though the millage has not been extended. Hence, if a bona fide owner wishes to pay taxes on his land, which has here- | tofore been sold for taxes, and the | certificates is outstanding in the state, yet upon tender of such ‘payment prior to the tax sale it \becomes the duty of the tax col- lector to make the extension of |the millage and permit the owner ‘of the land to pay 1932 taxes, without reference to prior unpaid {taxes or prior outstanding tax certificates. This fule applies to {subsequent years for which the land may be so assessed. , 1937 an owner pays taxes on his {land for 1932, 33-34-35-36, the jtime: for which the state shall certificates on such lands shall be extended for a period of 15 years from and after July 1, 1938. “Section 5 provides that delin- quent taxes for 1932 and sub- sequent years shall be sold and carry the same penalty as pro- vided by law before the passage of the Futch bill. Making exten- sion of millages on state cer- | tificate lands and selling them jfor 1932 is not contemplated. | However, tax sales of 1933 for taxes of 1932 shall be made in the same manner as before the passage of the bill. “Bonds or matured intetest coupons of the county may be used in the redemption of tax sale certificates, and are receiv- able at par covering the lands sold for the non-payment of state and county or other taxing dis- tricts to the amount of the de- linquent taxes for all “purposes, other than the levy made for state taxes.
