April 1, 1939, iis to be based.are being mail- ed to ail taxpayers in 'New Trier township this' week. The books wifl remain in. the Io- cal office at 561-A Lincoln avenue,-, Winnetka, oniy until June 21, 'and since sorne timre is required to com- plete the work before that date, the penalty date has beeri fixed for June 1. It is impossible to give proper attention to tax returns whlch are tion of the 50% penalty for late 11l- ing ,.is obligatory, so it is u rge d that all taxpayers give prompt at- tention to the mattér. Provide Affiavit Fqrmn A form of affidavit wiiI be fur,- nished for convenience ini listing tax- able stocks,, bonds, mortgages and other similar intangible 'property. Most taxpayers availed themselves of this practice last year which reý- suIted in a very considérable saving of trne for themselves as WQII as tlhose.iiarged with the 4uty of mak- ing the ase*ssflnt. As wfll be seen from the instruc- tion sheet accompanymng the tax ie- turn, no. change from last year is contemplated in the basis of report- ing the full value of intangible prop- erty. The instructions contempla te that machinery and inventory are to be assessed at 1001%.
