Mr. FARNSWORTH. I move to amend the 1st sentence of this paragraph by inserting after the words “four public places the words “wad of each post olhce;” so that it will then rea: That the assessorsfor each collection district shall, by advertisement in some public newspaper published in each county within said district. anysuch there be. if not, the nin somenews aperi.n acollection district adiping thereto, an by notifications to be posted up in at least 4 public lse es and at within each assessment istriot. adver I tise, by not less than ten days notice, all persons concernedof the time and place within said collection district ivhen and whero appealswill bereceived sainvde determined relative to any erroneousor excus VltlllflllOD !a. ssessments or eiiuinerzitionsby the piass. temoorr asst assessor returned in the annual It is very important that the tax payers shall have a fair opportunity of obtaining notice when they are assessed. This bill, as well as the old law, only provides that the assessor shall publish a notice in one paperin each county in his district, or, if there are no papers published there, then in one paperin the Fdjoinin district, and to post u notices in our public places. The law maes no provision for paying the cost of these advertisements; and it is so, too, with regard to the collector. He must himself pay the cost of advertising. The consequence is that there is no inducement for him to take any extraordinary pains to give notice to the niblie, but, rather, some fittle inducement for iini to with hold the notice, because by so doing he makes the cost for himself. Now, it will not be requiring of the assessor much of a job if we require him to have a notice posted up at each postoffice in his district. It will be very easy for hi to mail a notice to each postmaster with the request that he will post it up in the cflicc and the post othee where all the people of for their letters and apers is of all places t 10one where they will e most apt to see the notice ifitis posted 11.
