ineton Oil the 4th. & at Crawford's Ia
in Georgetown on the 5th, for the pur-
pose of receiving any information that
may be furnished as to the changes which
may have taken place in the assessable
property ofindividuals since the last as
sessment made under the act of January
9th, 1915, and previous to the LIST of
June, 1916; which information must be
given in writing under the signature OF
the person whose tax may be affected
thereby. These changes extended to,
a. Accessible property omitted to be as
sessed at the preceding assessment, &
property that has seased to be exempt
ed from assessment, such as property
belonging to the United States, or a
state, or otherwise exempted, which on
it's transfer becomes assessable. All
: such property is now to be assessed.
But no alteration is to be made IN the
previous valuation of any real estate III
virtue of any improvement thereon.
Il. Transfers OF Reai Estate and Slaves,
according to which an abatement IN
the enumerations and valuations OF the
person transferring them will be made,
and correspondent increase IN the
enumerations and the valuations ef the
person to when the transfer may be
made.
Is. Changes Of residents and non resi-
dents.
These changes will merely require a
transfer from the lists of residents,
non.residents, or vice versa, as the case
may be, of the property in the owner
ship or agency Of which such change
has occurred.
a. The burning or destruction CT houses
or other fixed improvements OF 'seai
Estate. for which an abatement equal
to the injury arising from these causes
is to be made.
S. The exemption Of property that has
ceased to be asssssable, for which also
an abatement equal to its value is to|
be made.
6. Slaves that have been born, or have
died. or have runaway OF have other
wise become useless since the preced-
ing assessment. In these cases changes
in the preceding valuations are only
to be made, where the tax chargeable,
to any person for Slaves would De di-
minished by the valuation on the lst
diav of June of all those excepting
such as have been obtained by lransferJ
then owned BY such person. and the
reduction in the valuation In such e.
vents is to be equal to the diferenceI
between the valuation OF those owned
on the 1st Of June, 1916, and an a5ate-
ment equal to such reduction TO be
made.
The whole of these changes are to be
relative to the 1st day Of June, and in all
of them the rates of the valuations made
under the act Of January 9th, are as near
as may be to be maintained, excepting mi
two cases. one where partial ailena-
ton of real estate shall occur in which
case, as the tax, as fixed agreeable to|
the preceding assessment is to be ap-I
portioned among the several parts, ac-
cording to their respective values on the
lst of June, the proportional value ac-|
ccrdins to the preceding valuation, at
that time of the part alienated, and of
the remainder Of the property should be
stated the other respecting Slaves other
than such as are transferred within the
same collections district, which are to be
valued according to their existing value,
and slaves that have been born, or have
died, or otherwise become useless since
the preceding assessment, IN which case
the course above stated is to be pnrsu-
ed.
ANY person becoming the owner Of
Slave By transfer to him from collection
district other than that in which he re-
sides is required, under the penalty Of ten
dollars, to render as Aforesaid state
nent specifying the age and sex Of such
slave, who is to be waived according to
his or her existing value.
In all cases in which such information
Of ehangein the assessable property of
my person, according to the preceding
shall not be SO received,
such person and property will continue
liable to the whole tax chargeable thereon
agreeable to that assessment.
And notice is further hereby given.
