REPORT TO HOWARTH

Reports from assessors of personal
property and dog tax collectors were
received today by Township Assessor
Howarth who was not prepared how

said they believed a slight gain will
be shown in the personal property
assessment for Wayne township and
Richmond, the larger gain being in
the city.
The dog tax is believed to have
fallen short of last years collection
and a long list of names of delin-
quents will be turned over next week
to the township trustee who will try
to collect the tax before reporting the
cases to the prosecuting attorney.
Monday a report on the personal
property assessment will be made out
to be submitted to the county asses
sor Tuesday. On May 25, the report
of real estate assessors will be made.

"diplomatic etiquette" was voiced in
official circles today because it had
allowed publication of President Will
