All of the State Taxes on real estate have by an act of t~e General As- sembly of Virginia been segregated ~o the local a~mmnnity, but it is required to be collected by the Clerk of the Court and returned ~o the City less his fees. Insgead of the City paying the taxes, I suggest that the following resolution Be passed and t~e City Auditor make a no - ration to this effect upon ~e tax ho.Qks in the~lerk's office.
