A good way for the taxpayer who
has much property to return, is to
make memorandum of the number
of horses, cattle, mules, sheep and
goats, hogs, watches, organs and pi-
amos, buggies, wagons and carriages,
dogs, merchandise, machinery, mon
eys, notes and accounts (abo7e indebt-
edness), furniture, &C., which will save
the taxpayer time, and enable the as
SCISSOR to progress in the work.
Taxpayers return what they own on
the first day of January, 1891.
Assessors and taxpayers will enter
the first given name of the taxpayer
IN full, also make a separate return
for each party for the township the
property is in, and where the taxpay-
er owns realty to insert the postoffice
as their place of residence, and those
who only own personal property to
give the party's name who owns the
land they live On as their residence,
which aids the taxpayer as well as the
county treasurer in making the col
lection and preventing errors.
Every male citizen between the ages
of twenty-one and fifty years on the
first day of January, 1891, except
those incapable OF earning support
from being MANNED, or from other
causes, shall be deemed taxable polls.
ALI returns that are made after the
twentieth day of February next have
to be placed or the additional list and
fifty per cent. penalty added thereto,
unless prevented by sickness or out
of the county during the time of list
ing. Not knowing the time of listing
is no excuse. And all owners of real
estate might do their tenants who
cannot read or take u newspaper, a
great favor by making their returns
or telling them the time of listing,
and that if they fail to make their re-
turns in time that the valuation has
to be increased fifty per cent unless
they have a good excuse.
The assessing and collecting of tax
es is all done now in the same year,
and we have to aggregate the number
and value of all the horses, cattle,
mules, &C., as well as the acres of
land, lots and buildings and their val
ue, that there is in tka~couiaty, and
have same on file in the Comptroller
Generals office by the thirtieth day
of June each year. And from that
time to the first day of October each
year the auditors and treasurer's du-
plicate has to be completed and an
abstract of the work in the Comp
troller's Office by that time, which
will show at glance that the audit
or has no time to take in returns, or
do anything else much, between the
first day of March and the first day
of October each year, but work on the
books and blanks. Therefore hope
that all taxpayers will do as the favor
of making their returns in time.
