all listers of personal property,
as none but sworn statements are
valid in law, Section 27lS. Have
every lister sign the blank IN your
presence, in all cases where it is
possible to do so, and where the
man and wife each are owners of
personal property have each swear
to their respective list.
1t is your lawful duty, to see
and know, that every dog in your
taxing district is returned, if not
returned voluntarily, it is your
duty to list the same. Don't miss
a dog. Take 'em all.
When you take new buildings,
Section 2753, or report destroyed
ones, show the correct lot number,
if in townships, the section num-
ber, and other description, this
you can get from their tax re-
ceipts. This is important so as to
enable them entered correctly on
the duplicates.
Those who have saloons in their
districts, will be very careful to
have every space on the blanks
which are provided for taking up
this work, filled in correctly and
complete, and each blank must be
sworn to as required by law
Those having cigarette dealers,
must handle that work the same
way.
Show the post-oflice address or
the r. f. ID. Route of each lister
in your book, in.the column, which
is provided for that purpose. And
write the first name of each lister
in full. For example say John
f. Smith, instead of writing it j..
f. Smith.
Be careful In all your book, and
you will have no trouble in max
ing the pages foot up correctly.
Enter your names alphabetical
Iy, all the GAS" first, then skip
about three lines, and take up the
"B" etc.
In townships, enter the listers
in the township proper first, then
make the total Epage for that, or
recapitulation, then enter your
Special School Districts, and let
the recapltulation follow.
Make the total of each tax pay
ers list end a 5 or 0, for example,
say the total list foots up S5O3.0O,
make it even $505. 90, or if the
total is $500. 90, drop the - 90
and make the list $4,000, if you
are little careful you will have
no trouble il making the totals
come out as above suggested.
In folding up your lists, fold
them so the printed backs twill be
out, and fill in the name, etc, on
the back, as required.
The Auditor is required by law
to inspect and examine thorongly
the books of the assessors when
they are turned in, and to know
they are correct before he can
issue warrant for the assessors
time, and it will be necessary to
insist that these instructions be
carried out to the letter.
