property tax returns is being

from the assessment and taxa
tion division of the state tax
commission is making the check
every 10th return in the as
sessor's files to stop a high rate
of incorrectly made forms., '
County Assessor C.. A. Myers
said the results from checks in
10 widely scattered counties
showed $1,057,757.03 in total
value not reported, with only
45.6 per cent of the returns accurate.
The tax commission wrote
Myers, "It is self evident that
this condition cannot be toler
ated. Action is being instigated
by the tax commission through
publicity and cooperation with
county assessors to correct these
conditions in time for this year's
rolls."
Firms, corporations and asso
ciations are required by law to
make a full listing of taxable
personal property, showing 100
per cent of its true cash value,
Myers pointed out.

Restrictions on Lead
