The Town Treasurer in his official capacity may distrain upon any goods, chattels or intangibles represented by negotiable evidences of indebtedness, of any taxpayer delinquent under this article for the amount of all taxes and penalties accrued and unpaid hereunder. The Town Treasurer may require the assistance of any police officer of the Town levying such distress in the Town or otherwise of any officer in levying the distress outside of the Town. An officer so collecting taxes due hereunder shall be entitled to compensation in the amount of all penalties collected over and above the principal amount of the tax due, but in no case shall such compensation exceed twenty-five dollars ($25.00). All taxes and penalties so collected shall be reported within ten days after collection to the Town Treasurer and shall, at that time, be remitted to the Town Treasurer who shall then pay to the collecting officer the compensation due him hereunder.
