ASSESSORS OFFER AIDITO TAXPAYERS

Those Who Prepare State ments Now May Avoid Rush In September.

As yet but few property owners have visited the office of the tax assessors to prepare their lists of their taxa b1e property which must be filed during September. Usually a number of tax payers come to the assessors office prior to the date of filing their lists and are assisted by the assessors In preparing the same. At this time the assessors are not very busy and they have ample opportunity to assist all who call on them without the bus tle or delay which always attends such work during the month cf Sep tember.
 This year the lists are entirely diff ferent $from those used in the past years and there are many more items which must be listed and more ques- tions to be answered To avoid vexa- tious delays the assessors have offer ed to assist in preparing their tax lists all property owners who call on them at this time. The lists can be filed later.
