sary but it shall be the duty of every
person subject t3 taxation under the

and pay his taxes If any person
neglects to attend and pay his person
al taxes ttxo treasu rer either by him
self or deputy orsleriftif the county
wnen directed oy distress warrant is
sued by the said treasurer is directed
to collect the same together with pen
alty and costs of collection
In case any person having personal
property assessed and upon which the
taxes are unpaid shall in the opinion
of the treasurer be about to remove

erty out of the reach of the treasurer
it shall be the duty of the treasurer to
