Legal Questions 
Taxes on Property Sold by Sheriff. 
Duties of School Clerk 
1. I purchased a piece of hand the 
first of September at sheriff’s sale. This 
land is not assessed to me, and I did not 
get any of the crop, which was hay. 
There is school tax due on this piece of 
land now. and there will be another tax 
due to our town collector in a short time. 
When I purchased this property there 
was nothing said in regard to taxes. 
Who is the right party by law to pay 
this tax? 2. We had a meeting in our 
school district; I was elected secretary 
and I received some criticism in regard 
to my work. Will you give me the cor¬ 
rect form in which a secretary should 
put this on record in the school book at 
either a regular school meeting or a 
special school meeting? j*. E. R. 
New York. 
1. If taxes in question were not levied at 
the time of the sale they were not a lien 
on the real property, and you should 
pay them. 
2. It is the duty of the secretary or 
clerk, as he is usually called, at a school 
meeting, to enter all transactions on his 
minutes in the order in which they oc¬ 
curred at the meeting. N. T. 
Increased School Tax 
We find our school taxes around 00 per 
cent higher than they were in 1922, ap¬ 
proximately some $0.50 on the thousand 
assessed value. Our trustee states the 
cause for this phenomenal advance is a 
“new law” which allows anyone in our 
district to send their children to the high 
school without regard to age, or the 
grades they have advanced to, at expense 
of our school district. Is there such a 
law that has been put in the school laws 
of our State since the school year of 
1922? If so. please give title and section. 
We should like to be sure there is such a 
law, prior to payment of this very high 
tax. c. 0 . p. 
New York. 
Your trustee may refer to Subdivision 6 
of Section 492 of the education law, also 
various opinions of the Attorney-General 
in reference thereto. An opinion made in 
1922 says that under Subdivision G of 
this section the duty of providing for the 
tuition of academic pupils shall now ex¬ 
tend to all such pupils without limitation 
as to age, and includes all such pupils 
who are under 21 years of age. The 
statement that they must provide for all 
regardless of age or grade is not accu¬ 
rate. n. T. 
Tax on Rented Farm 
I rent a farm, owning stock (not mort¬ 
gaged). Do I have to pay a school tax? 
The owner of the farm pays a school tax 
also. Last year I paid a tax of $5.26, 
and the assessor claims that I must pay 
the tax according to law, but still none 
of my neighbors who rent farms pay a 
tax. h. tr. 
New York. 
School trustees shall apportion district 
taxes on all real estate in the bounds of 
the district not exempted by law, and 
upon all persons and incorporations re¬ 
siding in the district for the personal 
estate owned by them and liable to taxa¬ 
tion. The general tax law provides that 
all real property and all personal prop¬ 
erty within the State is taxable unless 
exempt from taxation by law. Property 
exempt by law from execution is not tax¬ 
able. Household furniture and personal 
effects to the value of $1,000 are not tax¬ 
able. N. T. 
Owner’s Liability 
If a man owning an automobile and 
carrying liability insurance, allows his 
hired man, who is worth no property 
whatever, to run this car, who would be 
responsible for damages in case of acci¬ 
dent resulting in serious injury to person 
or property? Does not the law prohibit 
anyone from driving a car belonging to 
another without a chauffeur’s license? 
In case of accident where said man was 
in no way to blame, could any damages 
he collected from the other party? 
New York. c. M. 
If the servant is driving the master’s 
car at the request of the mastel and 
about the master’s business, in case of an 
accident the master is responsible. One 
driving an automobile for hire must have 
a chauffeur’s license. In New York 
County every operator of a car must have 
an operator’s license. n.'T. 
Widow’s Share in Estate 
T have been told that the laws of New 
York State have been changed in regard 
to what share a wife would get if a man 
dies without leaving a will. If a man 
dies without leaving a will and leaves 
property and money besides, what share 
will his wife and children get? I have 
been told it would all go to the children. 
New York. e. h. 
The real property would descend to the 
children, subject only to the dower in¬ 
terest of the widow. The widow would 
get one-third part of the personal prop¬ 
erty. and tlie residue would be divided in 
equal portions among the children. N. T.
