TAN ON CORPORATION STOCK
Auditor Aver Makes an Effort to Get
on the Tax Books.

In order to comply with the provisions
of the Revenue and Machinery Act OF
1899. State Auditor Aver has ISSUED Il
circular letter TO all bank officers calling
attention to the latter part of section II
of the Machinery Act. That section
reads as follows:
''And the president or other chief Off
Ger of such corporations, except banks,
Shall furnish to the Auditor of the State
the names and residences of all persons
owning shares in said corporations. and
the Auditor shall furnish to the sheriff
or tax collector of each county the
names and residences of such persons
owning shares in said corporations"
The evident purpose for which this
provision is made, MIR. Aver says. ''is to
furnish the tax officials of the various
counties with certain information. and
the information should probably he given
during the time of listing taxes"
