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. The County Auditor
is charged with the responsibility of
! seeing that these Returns are prop
erly and fairly made. | feel that
| the figures for 1899 do not repre-
sent a 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 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 1, 1910. This includes
livestock, feeds, etc. If you have a
business place the values are the
averages for 1899. These averages,
(by ruling of State Tax Commits
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 a lien on the property. you still
are responsible for listing said
property. New Automobiles are to
be listed wherever shown Balance
Sheets must be made out by all
Business Firms.
In the Classified Returns, the Tax
is levied on the income of entire
year of 1899. 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
able. We are furnished lists Of
those having Stocks, Life Insurance
Policies, etc. so please see that
these are listed.
The time for listing is any time
during March or until April l.,
1910, after which date a penalty
for late filing shall be charged.
Please do not put off your return
until the last week and then expect
no fnr,c fn
on everybody promptly We want
ing your information ready so you
may give your answers promptly,
thereby helping both of US.
We are printing a list of values
to guide you. Remember these are
only general average values. If

RETIRED RING CHAMPION
BUYS SHORE PROPERTY

Gene Tunney has closed a deal for
the purchase of the Repaid farm from
T. E. Hicks. This beautiful estate
is located on the Choptank River
across from Chrysler and DUPONT es-
tates in Dorchester County.
For several weeks the deal for the
purchase of the estate has been in
the balance, and it was learned that
week ago the agreement had been
reached by Mr.. Tunney and Mr.. Hicks,
the former owner. Saturday was the
last day of the option held by Mr..
Tunney, and just before the Clerks
office closed on Saturday the deed
was filed.
Counsel for both parties were
sworn to secrecy, but it became
known on Saturday that the deal had
been consumated and this was verified
by filing the deed at the last minute.
The estate purchased by Mr.. Tun-
ney is made up of three farms pur-
chased by T. E. Hicks for his stock
farm. These comprise the Benoni
Point Farm, 140 acres, the Fox Hole
farm, 115 acres, and Orem's Delight,
12O acres, all situated on the Chop
tank River.
Mr.. Hicks was anxious to move
farther north, advertised the farm
and it's stock for sale, and while the
livestock was disposed of, the sale
of the farm is said to have been with
drawn. 1t was then that Mr.. Tun-
ney's interest in the property was an
nounced. For weeks the deal hung
fire, and the option set to end on Sat
urday last. Those interested in the
deal were sworn to secrecy and re-
fused to deny or confirm the report
