Real property to be returned
this year.
1t will save much time to tax
payers, also greatly facilitate the
work of the Assessor, if every per-
son before leaving home will make
out Il complete list Of every item
of personal property in the follow
ing order: Horses, cattle, mules,
sheep and goats, hogs, watches,
organs and pianos, buggics,
wagons and carriages, dogs, mcr-
c%handisc, machinery and engines,
moneys, notes and accounts above
Indebtedness, and all 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 resi-
dcnce on tax returns give the
township.
All male citizens between The
ages Of twcnty-Ona and sixty
years, on the lst of January, ex-
cept those who are incapable Of
earning II support from being
manned or from other causes are
deemed taxable polls confederate
veterans cXceptcd).
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 cannot read or that
do not take a newspaper. Those
more fortunate may do such per-
sons 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 num-
Der and value of all horses, mules,
cattle and other pieces of personal
property, as we'll as the acres of
land, lots and buildings and their
value that there is in this county,
and have the same on file in the
Comptroller Generals Office by the
Both of June ofeach year, and from
that time to the first day of DC.
tober the Auditor and Treasurer's
duplicate have to be completed
and an abstract OF the work in the
Comptroller Generals Office by
that time, which will show ut a
glance that the Auditor has nc
time to take returns or anything
else much between the 1st day OF
March and the 1st day of October
but work on the books and the
blanks. We hope therefore that
all taxpayers will make their re.
turns in time.
