An important meeting of the
Board of Equalization was held at
Barnwell Tuesday, March 27th, in
the Auditor’s office for the pur
pose of hearing complaints. Only
four taxpayers met the board.
The board passed a resolution, re
questing the Auditor to enforce the
50 per cent, penalty required by
law against all taxpayers who fail
to make the required returns be
fore February 20th next year, at it
often happens that there pre as many
as 1,800 additional returns in this
county out of a total of 7,000, while
Aiken County .with its cotton mill
element and 17,000 taxpayers, has
only about 300 additional returns,
it it understood. The board cannot
reach these additional returns, as
they are made when a person pays
taxes in the Fall.
