ASSESSOR SHOWS
 ASSESSMENT LAG TIME EXTENDED JULY 1 Cadron Very Backward in Making 1920 Lists-Delinquent Penalty After July l.

Assessment of personal property may be made in this county until July 1 without the payment of the penalty for del.nquents, Assessor Roy Rogers said today. The additional time is granted because practically all townships of the county are lag gard in making lists for the year, and payment of the penalty might work a hardship in some cases. Mr. Rogers has prepared a table showing the number of lists completed in each township, with the totals for 1919 added for comparison. In 1919, CLOS lists were filed, and the work of the assessor and township boards this year has produced 719 less than that number, which should show an in- crease, as Improvements must be as- sessed this year.
 Property owners in the city of Con- way and Cadron township are among i those slow to file their lists. MT. Rogers stated that 1,192 lists were filed in Conway in 1919, as compared with 856 filed this year, loss of 326. The township had 727 lists last year, and has filed only 585 this year. The
 losses in all townships, with only a few exceptions, will make up con- siderable total unless citizens take ad- vantage of the extension granted until July 1.
 For townships outside of Cadron,
 assessments will be made with the
 township board. For Conway and Cadron township, assessments until July 1 will be made by MT. Rogers
 at the courthouse. Several exten-
 sions of time already have been
 granted, MT. Rogers said, but the present period of grace will be posi- lively the last, and after July l, the penalties will be added. MT. Rogers ] table shows the following number of lists by townships:
 Benton, 1919, 193; 1920, POI, or 8 over. Benedict, 1919, 255; 1920, 234, or 21 under. Bristol, 1919, 96; 1920, i 1O1, or 5 over. City of Conway, 1919, 1,182; 1920, 856, or 326 under.

Pierce Creek, 1919, 133: 1920, 125, or 8 under. Pine Mountain, 1919, 1O8; 1920, IA, or over. Union, 1919, 216; 1920, 197, or II under. Walker, 1919, 194; 1920, 196, or 2 over. Wilson, 1919, 16s; 1920, 15O, or IS under.
 For the guidance of township boards in rounding up the delin- quents, MT. Rogers is preparing lists of the assessments already made in the townships of the county and will forward them to the boards. Com- parison with the 1919 records will show those who have not assessed, and will guide the boards in seeking out the delinquents. The full itiner- ary of the assessor has been made to all townships, without producing satisfactory results, and it is hoped the extension of time and good work until July 1 would send the total of assessment lists above that of 1919.
