Douglas County 1895 census<BR><BR>
<DIV

across this article in the The Plaindealer (Roseburg, OR), Feb 18, 1895 pg. 3
- Does anyone know if copies of this census still exist, and where they can be
found?<BR><BR>Assessment Census for '95 <BR>Tax payers should begin taking an
inventory and account of what property they possess liable to taxation. The
assessor is required by law to assess each man with what he owns on the first
day of March, and no matter if you sell your house and lot on the 2nd day of
March, and the assessor does not assess you until the middle of June, you will
have to pay taxes on that house and lot just as though you owned it in June.
It is a physical impossibility for the assessor to call on every man in the
county on the first day of March and hence you will save both yourself and the
county official much time, if you will prepare a list of your property on the
first of March and lay it away where you can place your hand on it when he
does come. the legislature of 1864, then meeting in October, passes a law
making it the duty of the assessor at the time of assessing his county in 1865
and every ten years thereafter to take an enumeration of the inhabitants and
industrial products of his county. In this enumeration there are 27 columns to
be filled out and Assessor Sterling estimates that it will take more time to
make the census this year than to make the assessment. For example in each
family, he must list the number of males over 21 years, number between 10 and
21 and number under 10, and the females between 10 and 18. He must get the
number of bushels of wheat, oats, barley, corn and rye; tons of hay, pounds of
wool, butter, cheese and the number of horses, mules, cattle, hogs, sheep and
all productions. The census rolls are to be turned over to the county clerk
when compiled and it is his duty to keep a copy and send original to secretary
of state. <BR><BR>
