Instructions 10 Deputy lounly
Aueuora.
County Assessor 'Haumont has
dccided to have no meeting of
deput.r assessors this year but
will provide each with such in-
slru tions from time to time as
he deems necessary to secure as
near possible an equitable as.
sessment of all property. The
following is a copy' of the first
letter of instructions mailed to
his deputies :
ro Deputy Assessors Custer Co :
Please pay strict attention to
the following instructions , so
that our work may be'dQne in an
acceptable manner. Write in
I'ood : ; plain characters and be sure
to have all names spelled cor-
rectly. Give post office address.
Where women are assessed writc
their first names in full and make
out a seperate schedule for the
husband's 1'011 tax , c\'en if he has
no property assessed in his name.
Where you have incorporated
viltiages in your precinct , mark
plainly the names of all those
liable to village or city tax. Be
sure to have the number of the
road and school districts right.
Mistakes in that particular
cause much annoyance. Always
put the nlue of the different
itcms , so that if you divide it by
live you have no cents in your
quotient. On small items you
may hav to add to the value of
somc , and deduct from the value
of others. Where anyone has
cr dits which he can off-set by
debits , he must use the special
credit blanle , enter his credits
thereon , also his debits. Then'
subtract the debits from the
I credits and enter the balance , if
I anv , at the proper place on the
: scl edule , pin the blank to the
: schedule and l < eep the two to-
: getber. 'l'he actual value of
: notes , bonds or mortgages. repre-
1 , senting moneys loaned or invested -
ed , shall not be rednced or diminished -
ished by subtracting therefrom
the debts owing by the person
assessed who owns such notes ,
bonds or mortgages. Credits
eyidencccl hy book accounts and
the like. may be off.set by debts
of like character only. I ent due
is taxeable as a cred'it. Rent to
grow due is a part of the land
residC'nt to it and therefore is not
subject to taxation. I-list also as
credits , claims due from the
county. J-Iast year a good por.
tion of the money in the county
was not accounted for. r want
to gct better results this year
anl ha\'c reason to blame some
of the deputies for not obtaining
better results along that line.
Common honesty should prompt
e\'eryone tollist a11 of his proper'
ty and he who does not do it , < tc.
I
,
servcs the punishmcnt the law
provides. Assess { at cattle and
hogs by the pOl1nd and kc p in
some little book a record of the
number and weights of the different -
ent bunches uf fat cattle assessed
in your precinr.t. l'his is very
important and helps. in equal-
iin . That record should be. .
returned to me. Also thark on. .
the schedule the number of fat i
cattle included in the whole - ' '
num-'I'
bcr of rattle listed by anyone
person. gvery telephone Company -
pany should mal < e return of its
gross receipts. Stock held in
co.operati ve telephonc companies
should not be assessed when the
value of the line covers the wholc
value of the stock. Apportion the
value of the ' etephone lines of
your precienct between the differ-
nt school and road districts
through which they run.
Where people each own a
cer ain part of a telephone line ,
assess that to them individuall ' ,
l'he average value of a telephone
imtrument is about $10.00. List
all telephone property under No.
22 on schedule. Assess everything -
thing for what it will bring on
the farm for cash under a fair
valuation , as Roosevelt says , "a
square deal according to law.
As. the assessmcnt must be un.i-
for l all over tht county. I will
S OIl send you directions as
to the average value of diiTerent
classcs of property. The value
of new improvements , made since
last years' assessment must be
listed by the asseSSJrs and they
must Jrive the number of section
or part of section on which such
improvements were made. Also
do 110t forget the farm statistics ,
and get them correct. It will
help our county.
