TOMORROW IS LAST
 DAY TO FILE LISTS
There Are Almost 5000 Prop erty Owners Who Have
 Not Done So.

Tomorrow is the last day on which property owners may file and swear to their tax lists before the assessors. The law requires all property owners to appear personally before the as
 sessors each year during the month of September and file a sworn state ment of the taxable property owned by them on September 1 of the same year. If the taxable property is not listed in September the law requires the board to add 10 per cent. to the value of that property. No discretion as to the addition of such 10 per cent. is vested in the assessors. The law is explicit and compeIs them to do it. Tomorrow this 10 per cent. will be added to all lists not filed with the assessors by 4 o'clock tomorrow night.
 Up to noon today, 8,841 lists had been filed. The number filed up to the cor responding period last year was r. 863 or more than 1000 more than last year with 500 more taxpayers than last year. Up to noon today 174 lists were received and there are still about B. 900 property owners who have not filed their lists. A great many per sons who do not understand the law have made out lists and sent their wives or other persons to file them. The law does not permit the assessors to accept these lists but requires that the property owner appear in person to swear to his taxable property.
