Tax Errors Increase

That Irregularities and glaring errors
in returning property for taxation are
on the increase in Calhoun county, is the
opinion of Tax Assessor Dave Cowden,
who says that the average man Is alb
solutely destitute of accuracy in this re-
spect. In this connection it is claimed
that there is nothing at all out of the
ordinary for a man to return his neigh
boris property for taxation, and leave his
own subject to SALE Furthermore, while
there are only GAO acres in a section,
Mr.. Cowden says there have been many
cases in his experience of men having
returned 800 acres as being in one sec
ton. Similar errors in ranges, town.

numerous.
