Power to compound tax on vehicles or animals.— Where a Council has imposed a tax on vehicles (other than motor vehicles) or animals used for riding, draught or burden and kept for such use within the municipal area, it may compound with the keeper of any livery-stable or of horses or such vehicles kept for sale or hire, for the payment of a lump sum for any period not exceeding one year at a time, in lieu of any amount which such keeper would otherwise have been liable to pay on account of the tax imposed as aforesaid.
