A good way for the taxpayer who
has much property to return, is to
make a memorandum of the number
of horses, cattle, mules, sheep and
goats, hogs, watches, organs and pl-
amos, buggies, wagons and carriages,
dogs, merchandise, machinery, mon
eys, notes and accounts (above lndebt-
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, 1892.
Assessors and taxpayers will enter
| the first given name of the taxpayer
| in full, also make separate return
for each party for the township the
property is in, and where the taXpay-
er owns realty to insert the postofhce
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 we'll 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, 1892, except
those incapable of earning support
from being manned, or from Other
causes, shall be deemed taxable polls
All returns that are made after the
twentieth day of February next have
to be placed on the additional list anC
fifty per cent. penalty added thereto
unless prevented by sickness or ou1
of the county during the time of list
ing. Not knowing the time of listing
is no excuse. And all owners of rea
estate might do their tenants, wht
cannot read or take a newspaper, {
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 ha'
to be increased fifty per cent. unless
they have 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 O.
land, lots, and buildings, and their val
ue, that there is in the county, ant
have same on file in the Comptrollel
Generals office by the thirtieth day
of June each year. And from thai
time to the first day of October each
year the auditors and treasurer du
plicate has to be completed and al
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, OF
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 us the favor
of making their returns in time.
