The present system also makes It necessary for the Bheriff to keep two registers on which segrega tions are made and to run two seta of serial numbers on his register, and also two sets on his receipts. - While the law does not require It, I think the taxpayers are entitled to no- tlces showing the description of their property, which also act as receipts after payment has been made and the sheriffs signature affixed to the re ceipt. The new system Is briefly this, and I recommend Its adoption. After the clerk has balanced part of the tax roll the sheriff to put on two men at nights writing receipts In duplicate, and continue until the roll Is com pleted. Immediately after the roll has been completed and the clerk's warrant attached, these receipts In du plicate, which also serve as notices. ers, with printed notations thereon h red Ink to return same in duplicate to sheriff when paying: taxes. After receipts have been returned and pay ment has been made both the original and duplicate are given the same ser ial number, the original signed by the sheriff and delivered to the taxpayer, and the duplicate retained and filed by the sheriff, and the amount entered In his register under the number co.-. responding to the one on the receipt. This does away with the additional work of sending out the card notlctt as has been the custom heretofore, and also with the congestion and confu sion at the sheriffs office during tax paying time, and is much more satis factory to the taxpayers for they got their receipts Immediately on making payment. It also does away with one Bet of receipts and an extra register, and simplifies matters all around. As to the relative cost of the pres ent and proposed systems, I am unable to state, but it is my judgment thai the cost will not exceed the present method. Tlie Clerk's Report.
