out and sign assessment blanks be-
fore they give them into the Assess
or. | always like to be accommodating,
but | want to remind the public that
| have only five months in which to
assess both the realty and the person
atty of the county and, / therefore,
hope that each and every citizen will
make a vest pocket memorandum of
his assessment before ! or one of
my deputies call. We cannot go
back the second time ard it is Just
about as easy to do a thing at one
time as at another.
| want to especially urge that tax
payers have their land numbers or
lots and description Of lands ready.
As a help to this end your last tax
receipt would be a mighty good
guide. So please help me expedite
the assessment by being ready to
give in your property when l or one
of the deputies call.
