                                  AN ACT

     To authorize the collection of poor tax from unseated lands.

        Section 1.  Collection of poor tax from unseated lands
        It is the true intent and meaning of the several statutes of
     the General Assembly, authorizing the assessment of poor tax
     upon property, that unseated lands shall and may be assessed
     therewith in the manner provided for the assessment of poor tax
     upon other real estate, and whenever hereafter any poor tax so
     assessed on any unseated lands in this Commonwealth shall not be
     voluntarily paid by the owner or owners thereof, the collector
     or overseer of the poor of the proper district, as the case may
     be, shall certify the same to the proper county commissioners as
     is now directed by law in the case of road and school taxes, and
     the commissioners shall enforce the collection thereof with the
     taxes assessed on unseated lands for county purposes, and when
     so collected said tax shall be paid to the overseers of the poor
     of the proper district by orders drawn by the county
     commissioners on the county treasurer.  1874, May 14, P.L. 155,
