of the county commissioners to make
out and publish, statement, in
such form as will show the aggre
gate value and assessment made by
each assessor in the county, upon
property taxable by law, for county
purpose. So far as we recall there
has never been a compliance with
this law. The commissioners under
an earlier act that of 1884 give no

disregard the other act which re-
quires publication in two or more
