According to a ruling of the at torney general, no mortgage exemptions will be received by the county auditor until after April 1. It is necessary for the person taking the benefit of the exemption law to make affidavit that the mortgage in question was in existence on the first day of April. No person can make a good affidavit during the month of March to the existence of a mortgage on propertyon April 1. For this reason no exemptions will be taken until after the latter date.
