STATEMENT SHOWING
HOW TAXPAYERS' MONEY IS
COLLECTED AND APPoRT-
IONED BY OFFICIALS.

County Auditor Bradbury this week
completed the final statement of the
Idaho county real estate tax rolls for
the year 1913 which shows the total
amounts charged to the county tax col.
lector and how the tax monies are re-
ceived and apportioned.
This year the work of compiling and
completing the tax rolls has been an
enormous undertaking due to the sweep
ing changes made by the state board
of equalization. The added work,
coupled with the limited time at hand,
made the task gigantic in volume but
the efficient county auditor, aided by
his capable and tireless force, dug into
the task with vim and completed it
on scheduled time. The rolls were
turned over to County Treasurer Rice
on last Friday, complete in every detail.
This is the first time in the history
of Idaho county that all of the taxes
have been extended by the auditor
which is required under the new rev.
enue law passed by the last legislature.
The treasurer makes out and forwards
the tax statements or notices and the
final collection of the tax is very
simple matter as the auditor has figured
out the exact amount each tax payer
has to pay.
