property returned at its true market value.
Persons not making their returns between January 1st, 1905, and February
0th, 1905, are liable to a penalty of 50 per cent. This penalty will be enforced
gainst delinquents ; for the failure to enforce it heretofore has put a premium
n neglect of the law.
The returns of those who conform to the law are placed before the Townhip

oeeting of the Boards and return to suit themselves. The enforcement of
his 50 percent, penalty will correct this evil.

roper officer. This does not apply, however, to persons returning only land.
