delinquent any real estate whatso-
ever, and that the amount alleged
against said property is a true and
correct charge; and, in cases in
which the description of the prop-
erty in said list or assessment rolls
or books is not sufficient to identify
the same, and of which property
there is a sufficient description in
the inventories of the assessor's of-
fice, then said inventories shall be
admissible as evidence of the descrip-
tion of said property.
Sec. 3. It shall be the duty of the
Comptroller of Public Accounts to
prescribe such forms for tax rolls to
be used by the county tax assessors
as may make it convenient for the
collectors of taxes to note thereon
the payment of taxes as provided for
in this Act; and to prescribe such
forms for receipts, and reports and
such other forms for the use of the
collectors of taxes as in his opinion
may be advisable. This provision is
cumulative of all other provisions of
the statutes of the State prescribing
the duties of the Comptroller of Pub-
lic Accounts.
Sec. 4. All laws in conflict here-
with are hereby repealed.
Sec. 5. The fact that under exist-
ing laws it is impossible for many
taxpayers to pay delinquent taxes but
same could be paid if the penalties
thereon were graduated and the in-
terest charges deferred until October
1, 1934, and the further fact that a
great increase will be made in the
payment of taxes in October, Novem-
ber and December of this year and
following years under this Act which
will be of advantage to the financial
condition of the State, counties and
districts, creates an emergency and
a public necessity requiring that the
constitutional rule providing that
bills shall be read on three several
days in each House shall be suspend-
ed, and said rule is hereby suspend-
ed and this Act shall take effect from
and after its' passage, and it is so
enacted.
