FIRST MONDAY APRIL, :,


Enter upon the performance of his official duties
for the current year. He would call particular at
tentfon to the following section of the Revenue
Law:
elf any person shall wfully make, give,
under oath affirmation false list Of his, or her,
their taxable property, false list of taxable
property under his, her, their control, such per
son shall be deemed gnty of perjury, and upon
conviction thereof, shall be punished therefor as
is by law provided for the punishment of perjury ;
and any property willfully concealed, removed,
transferred, misrepresented. by the owner any
agent thereof, to evade taxation, shall upon dis
covery, be assessed at ten times the amount of tax
for that year, which would otherwise have been
assessed upon it and fifty per cent of the amount
OF such additional tax, when solicited shall be paid
to the person persons who shall furnish the
information which reveals the property so conceal
ed, transferred, removed or msrepresented and the
remaining fifty per cent, after deductng the usual
per centage for collection, shall be paid into the
Treasury, for the benefit of the Common School
Fund of the State"
Attention is also directed to the following section
of the Act of 1866, relating to Shasta county
"The Assessor of said county is authorized and
it is hereby made his duty to collect all the poll
per capita tax except the road poll tax, and the
taxes upon all movable personal property and upon
the entry of any assessment of movable personal
property, to any person, firm, corporation, associa
ton, company, who docs not real estate
sufficient in the opinion of the Assessor to insure
the payment of such tax within the county, to de-
mand the payment of the taxes upon the same !;
and if such person, firm, corporation, association,
or company shall refuse or neglect to pay such
taxes, the Assessor shall, by virtue Of the power
herein vested in him. proceed to collect such
in the samo manner prescribed by law for the Col
ector."
If Tax Payers were to have list of their pro-
perty prepared, ready to be sworn to, as the law
directs, by the time of my reaching them, they
would thereby perhaps themselves much an
noyancc, well facilitate my work.
