as follows, to wit: For personal prop
erty, the usual selling price on the
usual terms of similar property at
administrators or executors sales, at
the place where the return is made;
and for real property, the usual sell
ing price on the usual terms Of SINH
lar property at sales for partition
under the order of the court, at the
place where the return is to be made.
If there is no usual selling price,
then at what is honestly believed
could be obtained for the same at a
fair sale under the conditions above
mentioned.
It shall be the duty of each owner
of lands, and of any new structures
thereon which shall not have been
appraised for taxation, to list the
same for taxation with the County
Auditor of the County in which they
may be situated, on or before the
twentieth day Of February next after
the same shall become subject 10

All returns for taxation must be
