T.nst Monday the assessors of the dis-tricts

auditor-general has urgently impressed 1
upon the commissioners that a more
thorough Inquiry should be made as to!
mortgages and judgments and kindred j
instruments taxable for state purposes.'
The commissioners on their own part
desire that property be located specific-ally
and Impartial values given and
that the law respecting the assessments
Of dogs be better respected. The asses-!
sors are held strictly to account for the'
assessments of dogs as of the most lm-portaiit
piece of real estate, yet In some :
districts the returns of dogs are redic-ulously
small. One would think by the!
assesor's books that the canine race'
would shortly become extinct Judging'
by the dearth of female dogs register-ed.
Of the dogs set down nearly all
arc males, the reason possibly being |
that females are taxed heavier than
male dogs. This year is triennial as-!
sessment year, but that assessment will
not be made until fall.
