Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 57, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 March 1899 — The New Tax List. [ARTICLE]

The New Tax List.

The blanks for assessors which are ready to be sent out to the different counties of the state show new features. Two changes were made necessary by the new law. The first is the provision in the new blanks for giving the number of shares of stock in building, loan or savings associations and their value. Under the law passed by the last legislature a statement of all such stock must be given. The second and the greater change is in the blank spaces in which to insert the value of all notes owing by persons assessed. The old law allowed persons whose property was assessed to “lump” the whole sum of the notes owing by them. The new law requires that a person must set out in full in the blanks and make oath as to the name of the payee, the date of maturity and the amount of the notes.

Then follow the customary blanks for the total value of accounts owed and the total bona fide indebtedness and the balance for which persons should be assessed.
