SPECIAL TAX NOTICE.
The law of North Carolina.
See Chapter 116 ecs. 34, 35,
36 and 37 acts of 1895 requires
every Physician, Dentist,
Lawyer and Hotel or Boarding
house keeper to pay a license
tax and take out a license,
under a penalty of thirty days
imprisonment or fine of fifty
dollars, for failure to pay the
license tax. The law further
makes it my imperative duty
to see that the penally of fifty
dollars is iuforced. Very few
have complied with the law.
Unless the parties liable to
pay this tax, come forward
promptly I will be compelled
(unwillingly asj I am) to see
that the law is inforced.
