the powers of the assessors of a tax district in reviewing and correcting an assessment-roll. Such property shall be

taxed at the rate per centum of such preceding year. The whole amount of tax on property levied in pursuance of this section shall be deducted from the aggregate of taxation to be levied on the tax district for the current year, before such tax is levied.

§ 55. Levy of tax by supervisors. The board of supervisors of each county shall, at its annual meeting, levy the taxes for the county, including the state tax, upon the valuations as equalized by it and estimate and set down in a separate column in the assessment-roll of each tax district therein, opposite to the sums set down as the valuation of real and personal property or property of incorporated companies or of the taxable rents reserved, the sum to be paid as a tax thereon, including the state tax, as fixed by the comptroller. Such assessment-roll shall, when the warrant is annexed thereto, become the tax-roll of the tax district, and a copy thereof shall be delivered to the proper supervisor, who shall deliver it to the clerk of the proper city or town to be kept by him for its use.

§ 56. Tax-roll and collector's warrant.- On or before December fifteenth in each year the board of supervisors shall annex to the tax-roll a warrant under the seal of the county, signed by the chairman and clerk of the board, commanding the collector of each tax district, to whom the same is directed to collect from the several persons named in said roll the several sums mentioned in the last column thereof, opposite their respective names, except taxes upon the shares of stock of banks and banking associations, on or before the first day of the following February, and further commanding him to pay over on or before that date all moneys so collected appearing on said roll, to the treasurer of the county, if he be a collector of a city or a division thereof, or if he be a collector of a town:

1. To the commissioners of highways of the town, such sum as shall have been raised for the support of highways and bridges therein.

2. To the overseers of the poor of the town, such sum as shall have been levied, to be expended by such overseers for the support of the poor therein.

3. To the supervisor of the town, all the moneys levied therein, to defray any other town expenses or charges.

4. To the treasurer of the county, the residue of the money so to be collected.

If the law shall direct the taxes levied for any local or special purpose in a city or town, to be paid to any person or officer other than those named in this section, the warrant shall be varied so as to conform to such direction. The warrant shall authorize the collector to levy such taxes by distress and sale, in case of nonpayment. The corrected assessment-roll, or a fair copy thereof, shall be delivered by the board of supervisors to the collector of the tax district on or before December fifteenth, in each year. (Thus amended by L. 1901, chap. 158, taking effect March 22, 1901, and L. 1901, chap. 550, taking effect April 25, 1901.)

§ 57. Statement of taxes upon certain corporations by clerk of supervisors. The clerk of each board of supervisors shall, within five days after the tax warrant is completed, deliver to the county treasurer, a statement showing the names, valuation of property and the amount of tax of every railroad corporation and telegraph, telephone and electric-light line in each tax district in the county, and on refusal or neglect so to do, shall forfeit to the county the sum of one hundred dollars, to be sued for by the district attorney in the name of the county.

§ 58. Statement of valuation to be forwarded to comptroller. The clerk of each board of supervisors shall, on or before the second Monday in December, transmit to the comptroller, in the form to be prescribed by such comptroller, a certificate or return of the aggregate assessed and equalized valuation of the real and personal estate in each tax district as the valuation of such real estate has been corrected by such board, and the amount of tax assessed thereon for town, city, school, county and state purposes. Also the names of the several incorporated companies liable to taxa

In the city of New York such report shall be made by the clerk of the board of aldermen, and for the purpose of making such report he may require any department or board of such city to furnish the necessary information.

859. Abstract of warrant to be furnished county treasurer. On or before the twentieth day of December in each year, the clerk of the board of supervisors shall transmit to the treasurer of the county an abstract of the tax-rolls, stating the names of the collectors, the amount of money which each is to collect, the purpose for which it is to be collected, and the persons to whom and the time when it is to be paid. The county treasurer, on receiving such account, shall charge to each collector the amount to be collected by him.
