Real estate is assessed this year, 1890.
And all parties owning land, lots, and build
ings will please look up their deeds, where
necessary, and get the right number Of
acres, lots, and buildings that they may own
on the first day OF January, 1890. All build.
ings of any sort, that are worth ten dollars
or over, are to be returned.
A good way for the taxpayer, who has
much property to return, is to make mem
orandum of each building and its value. the
number of horses, cattle, mules, sheep and
goats, hogs, watches, organs and pianos,
buggies, wagons and carriages, dogs, mer-
chandise, machinery, moneys, notes and &C
counts (above Indebtedness, furniture, &C.,
which will save the taxpayer time, and ena.
BILE the assessor to progress in the work.
Taxpayers return what they own on the
first day Of January, 1890.
Assessors and taxpayers will enter the trst
given name of the taxpayer in full, also
make separate return for each party TO,
the township the property is in, and where
the taxpayer owns realty to insert the post
Office as their place of residence, and those
who only own personal property to give the
partys name who owns the land they live
on as their residence, which aids the tax
payer as well as the county treasurer il
making the collection and preventing errors
Every male citizen between the ages O.
twenty-one and fifty years on the first day
Of January 1890. except those incapable o.
earning support from being MANNED, OF
from other causes, shall be deemed taxable
polls.
All returns that are made after the TWEEN
tiesh day af February next have to be placed
on the additional list and fifty per cent
penalty added thereto unless prevented by
sickness or out of the county during the
time of listing. Not knowing the time Of
listing is no excuse. And all owners O.
real estate might do their tenants, who can
not read or take newspaper, a great favor
by making their returns or telling them the
time Of listing, and that ifthey fail to make
their returns IN time that the valuation has
to be increased fifty per cent. unless they
have good excuse.
The assessing and collecting of taxes il
all done now in the same year, and we have
to aggregate the number and value Of oil
the horses, cattle, mules, &C., as well as the
acres of land, lots and buildings and theil
value, that there IS in the county and have
the same on file in the Comptroller Gener
ais Office by the thirtieth day Of June eact
year. And from that time to the first da,
of October each year the auditors and treas
urer's duplicate has to be completed and 81
abstract of the work in the Comptroller
Office by that time, which will show at {
glance that the auditor has no time to tax
in returns, or do anything else much, be
tween the first day OF March and the frs
day of October each year, but work on th
books and blanks Therefore hope that al
taxpayers will do US the favor Of makin
J their returns in time.
