DECENNLAL APPRAlSEMENT OF REAL

GENEVA.

The decennial appraisement Of real estate has
been already commenced by the gentlemen elect
ed last fall. In Canton John A. Mack values the
first and fourth wards, and A, L. Tuttle the second
and third This valuation is to stand till 1890. It
is every landowners duty to give correct des.
criptlon Of his land and record Of the exact
number Of acres. The results attained by the as.
SCISSORS are to stand for the next ten years. and 1t
stands land owners in hand to have their proper.
ty correctly assessed. A correct duplicate will
save vexatlon and much trouble, and not only
this, but from the exact quantity of land will be
based the value of taxation, as the appraisements
are made from that basis. There are several
statutes governing the modes Of appraising pro-
perty, which owners should know. For the bene-
ct of those who have not the Revised Statutes we
give the substance OF the law; Assessors shall in
all eases view the property and obtain such facts.

arrive at true valuation Of the land. However,
the price which any lot or parcel would bring at
forced sale or auction shall not be taken into
consideration. Assessors are required to examine
all buildings, with the consent Of the owners II
any Assessor fail to do his duty-that ls, return
