PERSONAL TAX NOTICE
BY referring to the list of Per-
sonal Tax Valuations as given
above,
l think it is clear to the observ-
ing person that something needs to
be done along the line of personal
Tax Returns. Thes County Auditor
is charged with the responsibility of
seeing that these Returns are prop
erly and fairly made. l feel that
the figures for 1899 do not repre-
sent fair value for the personal
property of Morgan county. Be-
cause of this fact we are asking
that each person making a Tax Re-
turn shall place a fair value on the
article listed-thereby perhaps saw
ing embarrassment to himself and
to the Auditors Office.
In listing your personal property,
remember that the values are OF
January I, 1910. This includes
livestock, feeds, etc. If you have
business place the values are the
averages for 1899. These averages,
(by ruling of State Tax Commis-
sion) must be compiled by taking
the actual monthly inventory, add
ing together and thereby getting
the average.
If you happen to be in the Auto
mobile business or in fact any 9th
er business, and a Finance company
has Il lien on the property, you still
are responsible for listing said
property New Automobiles are to
be listed wherever shown. Balance
Streets must be made out by all
Basiness Firms.
In the Classified Returns, the Tax
Is levied on the income of entire
year of 1889 Whoever owns the
Stock on January 1, 1910. shall be
charged tax for the entire year, al
though he may not have owned it
for the entire year. If no income
has been had, then it is taxed on
the market value of the Stock, ac
cording to value furnished to the
Auditors Office by State Tax Com
mission. In general, all income
from Stocks. Bonds, Notes. etc, is
taxable except Government Bonds
and Bank Stocks. Postal Savings
accounts are taxable. Bank Depos-
its or Savings Accounts outside
Ohio. are taxable Any income FOR
Annuities or Life Insurance is tax
