A good way for the taxpayer who
has much property to return, is to
make numeration of the number OF
horses, cattle, mules, sheep and goats,
hogs, watches, organs and pianos,
buggies, wagons and carriages oogs,
merchandise, machinery, moneys,
notes and accounts, (above Indebted
ness) furniture, &C., which will save
the taxpayer time, and enable the
assessor to progress in the work.
Taxpayers return what they own
on the first day of January, 1895
All personal property, must be
returned this year. 49,
Assessors and taxpayers will enter
the first given name Of the taxpayer
in full, also make seperate return
for each party for the township the
property is in, and where the tax
payer owns realty, to insert the past
Office as their place Of residence, and
those who only own personal prop"
Gritty, 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 i'll
making the collections and prevent
ing errors.
Every male citizen between the
ages of twenty-one and fifty years
on the first day of January, 1895, ex-
cept those incapable of earning a
support from being manned, or from
other causes, shall be deemed tax
able polls.
Ali the returns that are made after
the twentieth day of February Will
have a penalty Of so per cent, added
thereto, unless prevented by sickness
orout of the county during the time
of listing. Not knowing the time OF
listing is no excuse. And oil owners
of real estate, might do their tenants,
who cannot read, or take a news
paper, great favor by making their
returns or telling them the time of
listing, and that if they fail to make
their returns in time that the Taiua-
tion has to be increased so per cent.
unless they have good excuse:
The assessing and collecting OF
taxes is all done now in .he, same
year, and we have to aggregate the
number and value OF all the horses,
cattle, mules, &C., as we'll as the acres
of land, lots, and buildings, and their
value, that there is in the county,
and have same on file in the Comp
troller Generals Office by the thir-
tieth day of June each year. And
from that time to the first day OF Oc-
tober each year the auditors and
treasurer's duplicate has to be com
pleted and an abstract of the work
in the Comptroller's Office by THAT
time, which will show at a glance
that the auditor 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 US the favor Of making their
returns in time.
