Changes Sought in New Tax Schedules by Smith
State Tax Commissioner Smith asks county assessors for suggestions on the form of the April annual assessment schedule. Real estate is to be listed for revaluation this year or in 1933 and 1934, and every two years thereafter. He notes the legislature did away with a separate intangible property schedule, leaving one crowded schedule and proposes placing special schedules on the reverse side to avoid cost. He warns enlarging the schedule would incur expense, and now is not a good time to raise costs.
