1. Before the first day of July in each year, the county auditor shall transcribe the assessments of the townships and cities into a book or record, to be known as the tax list, properly ruled and headed, with separate columns, in which shall be entered the names of the taxpayers, descriptions of lands, number of acres and value, numbers of city lots and value, and each description of tax, with a column for polls and one for payments, and shall complete it by entering the amount due on each installment, separately, and carrying out the total of both installments.
