PRICFSQC General Admission ... .. e s s e 1 | tants of Prince’s, Hospital, New Streets, King’s Cross Sireet, Market, Hill and Lagoon: Streets, all at the said Police Office at 10: o’clock a. m. ¢ Owners of estates are to specify in writing the exact number of acres in sugar cultivation, in cotton cultivation, in other cultivation and in pasture. Also information concerning the buildings on the estate and appropriation thereof, espeeially if there are rooms rented to other than laborers permanently em- ployed, and the lengih and width of the said rooms and the rental thereof. If any portion of the land is considered to be useless, and yields no revenue to the owner, the number of acres of such portion must be stated in the taxlist and a certificate on oath, issued by the pro- prietor and two Burghers residing in the quarter, and furthermore attested by the Quarter Officer, and delivered to the Commission. Owners of empty lots in town are re- quested to fill in the taxlists accurately, giving the information desired, in order that it may be ascertained if any new buildings have been erected on the property during the year, also stat- ing the time when such buildings were first occupied. In order that reduction can be obtained in the taxes for dwelling hcuses, ware- houses and shecs, which have been un- occupied for two months and upwards, the Commission would particularly draw the attention of those parties desiring reduction, that it is very necessary in such cases that certificates to that effect be produced, stating that the houses, sheds. ete. have beep vacant during said period. IT MUST BE SPECIALLY OB- SERVED: Persons neglecting to procure the information and proof described by the regulation in the above shape, time and place, must ascribe to their own neglect all losses result- ing therefrom. As several planters in the last years have neglected to meet at the fixed time and place to deliver their taxlists, the Commission bezs to announce that taxlists will not be received for any quarter, - at any other time or place than abkove stated. In case persons neglect to deliver a taxlist for any estate in due time, the Commission will, be- fore closing the meeting, assess the tax for said estate according to the best of its knowledge. Taxlists which are forwarded later to the Commission, will, together with a list of those estates that have omit- ted to send in their taxlists, be transmitted to the Government, in order that other measures be taken. Blanks for taxlists will be distributed some days previous to the meeting of the Tax Commission and are required to be accurately filled out by the parties concerned and delivered to the Commis- sion on the day whiech is fixed for each street in the tcwn and each quarter in the country.
