The statement shall be in writing showing separately:

5.

Whenever 1 member of a firm or 1 of the proper officers of a corporation has made a statement showing the property of the firm or corporation, another member of the firm, or other officer need not include such property in the statement made by him; but his statement must show the name of the person or officer who made the statement in which the property is included. The city assessor, tax and license collector shall furnish blank forms for the statements provided for in this section, with a form of affidavit affixed thereto which must be substantially as follows:

"I, _______, do swear that the foregoing list contains a full and correct statement of all property within the City of Pasadena subject to taxation which I, or any firm of which I am a member, or any corporation, association or company of which I am president, secretary, cashier or managing agent, owned, claimed, possessed or controlled at 12:01 a.m. on the first day in March of this year, for which a full and correct statement has not already been filed this year, with the City Assessor, Tax and License Collector, and that I have not, in any manner whatsoever, transferred or disposed of any property, or placed any property out of the City of Pasadena or my possession for the purpose of avoiding any assessment upon the same, or of making this statement."

B.

The affidavit to the statement on behalf of a firm or corporation must state the principal place of business of the firm or corporation and in other respects must conform substantially to the preceding form.

C.

The statement herein required must be furnished by the owner; provided his agent may furnish the same when the owner is prevented from so doing, due to his absence from the city.
