II Is obyio e that 1t was intended that the origi-
nal inlpressment Act, and the law By which was
amehded. were to be construed as one law, ard
thereby Introduce, as far as practicable Ia each
Ptaie uniformity of prices; il must also have been
intended that the Commissioners, in assessing VAL
ues, should in their original and appellate urlsds
ton, adopt and apply the saiue prhelnles and
standard and, this being done, i. will flow that
IL all eases,broayht before the board by appeal,
schedule. prices must be enforced unless ihe nwner
OF the press.d Testimony make out an exceptional
ease, p which event Il would be c0mpesent and
proper for higher price TO be allowed; hut, i'm
considering appeals, il should be borne In mind
that the assessment of local arbiiraters II not hy
the law made testimony, and should NOT. there
fore when above the schedule prices, be regarded
as p,iaa fdcie right, but Us erroneous, unless by
competent proof the contrary is shown.
