owner The assessors have assessed the occupied
parts to the occupants, and the remainder TO the
owner as nonresident lands, under Section % OF
Chapter sOS Laws OF 1896. The objection made by
the owner to the assessment is wholly based upon
a failure to observe the strict technical direction
OF the assessment law above referred to. A great
part OF the omission is stated TO be in the failure
