Attention

The blanks for incC me tax returns
are sent out. and parties concerned
should remember, that everyone
who receives a blank must fill out
the same correctly and return the
same signed and witnesst d by two
witnesses or a notary public, to the
assessor Of incomes.
It max no difference if the party
receiving a blank has a taxable in
come or not. If no return is made,
the assessor will make an assess
meut.
Parties that did not rect i've
blank. but are subj ct 10 an income
tax, must apply for a blank and
make a return as provided by law.
If no application for blank or no
return is made, the double tax rate
will be charged if any taxable in
come is found, and the negligent
party may be prosecuted besides.
The chances are, that the present
Legislature may abolish the personal
property tax. II this should be the
&c 4se, the returns of parties pawn"
heretofore large personal proper
~ tax, will be closer examined, and
therefore, great care should be ex-
ercised in preparing returns.
If not prevented otherwise, the
assessor of incomes will be at his
office at Ashland, each Thursday,
Friday and Satul day, at the court
house at Wasbburn each Tuesday
and Wednesday, and at the court
house at Hurley zach Monday TO
assist in making out the returns.
To accommodate parties unable
to leave their work during the week
the office at Ashland will be open
until 9 p. n. on Saturdays, and if
necessary and upon appointment,
en- Sundays if not prevented.
