BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in Legislature assembled, That the respective Treasurers of the counties of Somerset, Oxford, Hancock, Penobscot and Washington, be, and they hereby are, empowered to issue their warrants respectively to the respective Sheriffs of said counties, requiring them to collect the said county taxes within said valuation, counties respectively, which have been assessed upon the several towns and unincorporated plantations, and other tracts of land unimproved, lying within said counties respectively, since the first day of September, A.
