good bookkeeping is in numerical
order, according to square and lot
number, instead of by the name OF
the owner.
THE lot and square numbers of a
piece of property never change, sald
tie assessor, but the name of the
owner may change two or three times
in a year. 1t is obvious that in
searching back to find If certain taxes
have been paid it is easier to turn
nd LOT MI m an1
than to hunt for the names of the
various persons who have at dlHer-
ent times held title to the property.
Officials admit that the old system
was easier for the taxpayer, because
he did not have to remember MS lot
and square number.
If Collector Towers has time be-
tween now and November l he will
endeavor to file the bills alphabetical
, ly as well as keep the ledgers accord
ing to lot and square number.
It was suggested today, however,
that taxpayers will be able to
simplify the task of getting their
bills by bringing with them a
memorandum showing the square and
lot numbers.
The tax bill itself also will be more
modern in. form this, year. Hereto
fore the collector has had to make
out separate bills for persons who
pay half their tax in November and
the balance in May.
This year the tax bill will consist
of two pages. The first page will be
printed in black and carry the half
due in November. The second page
will be printed in red and state the
second half due in May.
If a person appears in November
and wishes to pay in full, both pages
will be receipted and the operation is
finished. If he is only ready to pay
the first half the collector will simply
tear off the first page and receipt it.
