I County Assessor Sweeney is at a loss
to understand why it is that taxpayers
do not give in outstanding notes and
mortgages. It is true that there are a
great many taxpayers who fail to list
their notes or mortgages and such fail
ure must come as the result ot ignor
ance of the law or an intent to defraud
the county. In the latter case nothing
is to be gained, but there is much to be
lost, as the law provides that in cases
of this kind it is legal for the assessor
to raise the tax valuation of offenders
fifty per cent. Instruments of this na
ture are on record at the court house,
and hence it is an easy matter for tho
assessor to locate the negligent ones.
Taxpayers will save money by listing
all taxable properties.
