Provo, March 3O.--In past years
the county assessor has called upon
individuals and made his assessments,
each individual giving the amount OF
his reality and property. But this
system had n serious disadvantage.
Property owners did not give In the
full amount OF their property, and In
order to blind the assessor ms to the
amount OF real estate they owned, the
deeds to their property were not re-
corded, and thus many acres OF yalu-
able land have escaped taxation. But
this year, the new eystem has
been adopted in the county. The
county has been plated, and
every acre land owned will be taxed.
But here n new difficulty arises.
Where deeds have not been recorded
the assessor is experiencing In many
cases great difficulty In ascertaining
who Ia the owner OF the property. In
some cases he has been unable TO Oh
tain the desired information, and the
collector will probably be under the
necessity Of advertising the sale Of such
property for the payment OF taxes ~
tho property OF John Doe or some
other fictitious personage. And M tho
deeds to the property have never been
on tho county record, when 1t Il
redeemed, N II In redeemed, serious
complications Of ownership may grow
out OF II.
