X. II. Alexander to state, in refer
ence to the numerous tax executions
recently sent out by Sheriff Davis,
that many OF them will be found to
be caused by duplicate retu rms made
in the several school districts. The
mistakes often come about in this
manner: w. f.. Jones makes his re-
turn in school district A, and the
trustees in that district return him
as I'd. Jones. The County Auditor
has no way Of telling that this is a
doub!e-cntry and this causes an exc
cution. Others living on school dis
trlcl lines make returns in 63 dis
trlCt and the trustees i'm No. 2S re-
turn them in % district. This also
makes a dOUblo-entry The issuing
OF executions, however, Is the only
way in which these matters can be
adjusted, as where duplicate returns
nave been made by the taxpayer and
school trustees, the appearing OF the
taxpayer to rcctify any error is the
only means at hand TO get the rec
0rdS straight. IN 1912 there we're
%" execution issued. and for 1913
mere were .-'. 1t was found that
thc NUMBER ) estimated as being
sent ont this was in excess of
inc actual number Of ecutionS to
D" issued. About one hundred OF the
taxpayers who were notified last
week have responded up to this time,
thns saving themselves costs and
much trouble and worry to the Off
GERS in charge Of collecting the exc
cuuons. During 1913 the Treasurer
issued 1867 tax receipts and in 1912
there were 7,0&3 issued. 2Sl more
during the past year. The road tax
receipts this year number 2,729.
against 2.5l@ for 1913.
