Real Property is not returned this
year.
1t will save much time to taxpayers,
also greatly facilitate tho work of tho
Assessor, ii every person before leaving
home will make Il n complete liet of
every item OF personal property in the
following order: Horses, Cattle, mules,
sheep aud goats, hogs, watches, organs
and pianos, buggies, wagons and carri-
ages, dogs, merchandise, machinery and
engines, ncneys, notes and accounts
alb we Indebtedness, and all other prop
eTty including household.
1t is always required that the Auditor
get the first given name Of the taxpayer
in full.
Under the head OF place OF residence
on tax returns give the township.
All male citizens between the ages of
twenty.one aud fifty years, on the lat
day of January, 1896, except those who
are incapable Of earning a support from
being MANNED or from other causes are
deemed taxable polls.
And every taxpayer is required to
give the number of their school district.
After the Goth day Of February next
fifty per cent. penalty will be attached
for failures to make returns.
In every community there are persons
who canno read or that do not take a
newspaper. Those more fortunate may
do such persons a great favor by telling
them OF the time to make returns or by
returning for them.
The assessing and collecting taxes is
all done in the same year, and we have
to aggregate the number and value of all
horses, mules, cattle and other pieces of
personally, as well as the acres OF land,
iots anu cuttings anu thelr value, that
there is in the County, and have the
same on file in Comptroller Generals
office by the 30th day of June of each
year, and from that time to the first day
of October the Auditor and Treasurer's
duplicate have to be completed and an
abstract OF the work in the Comptroller's
office by that time, which will show ut a
glance that the Auditor has no time to
take returns or anything else much be-
tween the 1st day OF March and the LIST
day OF October but work on the books
and the blanks. We hope therefore
that all taxpayers will make their re.
turns in time.

Auditor.
