1t will save much time to taxpayers,
also greatly facilitate the work OF the
Assessor, If every person before leaving
home will make out a complete list Of
every item of personal property in the
following order: Horses, Cattle, mules,
sheep and goats, hogs, watches, organs
and pianos, buggies, wagons and carri-
ages, dogs merchandise, machinery and
engines, moneys, notes and accounts
above indebtedness, and ali other prop
erty 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. i.
All male citizens between the ages of
twenty.one and fifty years, on the 1st
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 max returns.
In every community there are persons
who cannot read or that do not take a
newspaper. Those more fortunate may
do ouch persons q 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 we'll as the acres of land,
lots and buildings and their value, that
there is in the County, and have the
same on file in Comptroller Generals
Office by the 3Oth 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 at a
glance that the Auditor has no time to
take returns or anything else much be-
tween the LIST 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.
