Bill No. 77 of 1944. A BILL TO AUTHORIZE THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE AIRDRIE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO CANCEL OR COMPROMISE CER- TAIN ARREARS OF TAXES NOTE. The purpose of this Bill is to give authority to the Board of the Airdrie School District to cancel or compromise certain taxes on the tax roll at the end of the year 1939. During the years 1929 to 1939, through errors and omissions of the secretary-treasurer, the tax roll got into such a position that it did not reflect the true position of the rate payers.

Taxes were paid which were not credited and receipts were given for wrong amounts and taxes received for which no receipts were issued. The School Board has been trying for some years to have matters straightened out and are now asking authority to cancel or compromise the portions of arrears shown on the Schedule' and other arrears which may be found to be in the same position, all of which are now co.nsidered uncol1ectible. w. S. GRAY, Acting Legislative Counsel. (This note does not form any part of the Bill but is offered itt ea;planation of its provisions.)
