tions call upon the State assessors, who
shall have power to employ at the State
expense an expert timber surveyor, who
shall proceed to the premises and examine
that property with view to valuation
and he shall make report to the assessors,
who shall take that report into considera-
ton in fixing the value of that property.
1t also provides that the owners of that
property may at their own expense employ
another expert to go with the former one
referred to and assist him by showing the
