Decrees of settlement of claims, 1901-1961.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122368423

The files of the Board of Compromise document the adjustments, compromises and settlements of any claim of the State against any person, corporation, or public officer or his sureties as decreed by the governor, attorney general and the state auditor. For decisions regarding school lands, the board consisted of the governor, attorney general and the state superintendent of education. These records contain the petitions and final decrees for compromise and settlements between the State of Alabama and state and county officials for incorrect or misuse of public funds and between the State and Alabama citizens who fail to meet the payment of sales or income tax assessments or possible frauds. Claims are for debts or money demands owing or claimed by the state. An alphabetical index is in the first box. Minutes of meetings may be included. The Board may compromise a claim against an insolvent person for relief of indebtedness against the State; i.e., final assessment of income tax and may release all liens of record upon payment to the Treasurer's Office. Included with the decrees of settlement by the Board of Compromise are inserted 13 decrees pertaining to the Board of Compromise For School Lands. Created in 1919 the act regarding this latter board was repealed in 1939 by the Legislature.
