May 6, 1963 Mr. John 0. Webster, Supervisor- Box 86 Glens- Falls , N. Y. Dear John: This is to confirm our telephone conversation of today relating to collections made by your Receiver of Taxes and Assessments, and particularly the collection of benefit taxes in sewer districts and in the drainage district. 426 First of all, the Receiver was issued a warrent for the collection of the 1963 county and town taxes. At the expiration of this warrent the Receiver pays over to you the full amount of the town tax levy for 1963 and then settles with the County Treasurer . and pays to him the county taxes actually collected. The Receiver of Taxes also has separate warrents for the collection of benefit taxes in each of the sewer districts and in your drainage district. As these benefit taxes are received by him he pays them over to you and you in turn credit them to the particu- lar district. As I understand it, your Receiver has paid over to you the full amount of the general town tax levy for 1963 and aldo the full amount of the levy in each of the special districts for which he held separate warrants even though some of those benefit taxes have not been raid and the result has been that he is now short of the actual amount he must pay to the County Treasurer. The Receiver continues to collect the sewer taxes and drainage district taxes up to some date this fall, usually December 1, and at that time he makes a return to you showing the unpaid benefit taxes in the sewer districts and in the drainage district. You then transmit such statement to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and the Board of Supervisors adopts a resolution authorizing the levying of these unpaid taxes with the 1964 county and town tax levy. You should refund to the Receiver of Taxes and Assessments the amount of the sewer benefit taxes and drainage district taxes which he had paid to you but which he has not collected and this should provide sufficient balance so he can settle with the County Treasurer.
