MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1942.
ASSESSOR ISSUES FOLLOW-UP CARDS
TO
Co operation Asked In Fill
Ing Out Assessment
Blanks.
All owners of assessable per
sonal property In Jackson county
were implored today by C. A.
Myers, assessor, to cooperate
fully In complying with the new
assessment law under which
each owner files his own return.
"Do not mail the blanks back
to my office marked "no change"
or "same as last year" or with
out signature and notarization as
all such blanks will be returned
for correction, thus making more
work for both the property own
er and the assessor's office," Mr.
Myers said.
"The changes In the assessment
and tax laws have added much
work to the assessor's office and
I respectfully ask the cooperation
of everyone so that the new sys
tem may be worked out in a sat
isfactory manner."
Blanks are being mailed to all
owners of assessable personal
property and these should be
filled out and taken to the as
sessor's office or signed before a
notary and mailed to the office,
Mr. Myers pointed out.
The practice of having each
owner fill out his own assess
ment blank has been carried out
successfully in several Oregon
counties and the procedure was
found to be so much more ef
ficient and economical than the
old method of appraisers going
around to each property that the
latest legislature adopted a law
making this procedure uniform
throughout the state, Mr. Myers
pointed out. At the same time
the assessment date was changed
from March 1 to January 1.
No return need be made for
real estate excepting to list new
Improvements added or old im
provements removed. No deputy
assessor will call excepting In
cases where there is reason to
believe an incorrect return has
been made or to appraise new im
provements or to contact new
property owners, Mr. Myers said.

SEAL SALES SENT
The follow-up cards In the
Jackson county seal sale are
now In the mail and If anyone
gets one who has already sent
in check for the Christmas
seals, which combat tubercu-
losls, this Is why, Mrs. Henry
Pringle, Medford chairman, ex
plained yesterday. In returning
the blue envelopes, whim car
ried the seals to the buyer right
after Thanksgiving day, a num
ber of people scratched off their
names and the committee has
been unable to tell from whom
the response came. If any of the
people who have paid for the
seals receive follow-up cards,
they are asked to telephone or
write the chairman.
To keep straight the books of
the Jackson County Public
Health association seal sale com
mittee the workers must know
whether or not Individuals who
received seals in the mai sale
are buying or returning them.
That's why the follow-up cards
go into the mail. The sale must
be completed with a response
from every person to whom seals
were mailed. If they are sent to
people who have already re
sponded, Its because the names
were obliterated on the envelope
and the commltte wantr to
know. The public, which has
responded with so much cooper
ation In the past, is asked to do
so again now.
