A good Wa. for the. taxpayer vino
has much pl lperty to return, is to
make a. 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, (aboye in
debtedness) furniture, &C., which will
save the taxpayer time, and enable
the assessor to progress in the work.
Taxpayers return what they own
on the Grst day Of January, 1894.
All property, both real and per-
sonal, must be returned this year.
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 tax
payer owns realty, to. insert the post
Office as'their place of residence, and
those who onl y own personal prop
erty, to give the party,s~ name who
owns the land they live on as their
residence hich aids the taxpayer as
well as>the county treasurer in max
ing the collections and preventing
errors.
Every male citizen between the
ages of twenty-one and fifty years on
the first day of January, 1894, except
those incapable of earning a support
from being MANNED, or from other
causes, shall be deemed taxable polls.
All returns that are made after the
twentieth day Of February will have
a penalty of so per cent. added there
to, 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
of real estate, might do their tenants,
who cannot read, or take news
paper, a 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 yalua-
tion has to be increased so per cent.
unless they have a good excuse.
The assessing and collecting of
taxes is all done now in the same year,
and we have to aggregate the num-
Der 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 l hope that all taxpayers
will do us the favor of making their
returns in time.
J. EBERT DAVIS,
Auditor Clarendon County.
