NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Lee that the State Highway Comm- ission is hereby requested to review the above described road, and to take over the road for maintenance if it meets established stand= ards and criteria. Commissioner A. E. White seconded the motion and upon a vote it was unanimously adopted. Mr. James L. Clark, Tax Supervisor, appeared before the Board and presented the written request of Godwin Building Supply Company, Inc., for a refund of taxes in the amount of $114.55, for 1964, which overpayment resulted from double listing of the same property. Mr. Clark verified that he had examined the tax records and the property was in fact double listed and had,been paid and that the initial request had been made more than two years after the payment of the taxes and had not been honored, but the law (G. S. 105-405.1), had been amended to provide that a tax payer may make request for refund within eight years from the date the taxes were due to be paid and therefore the present request could be considered by the Board.
