Recently the board met and despite

went into court, and the supreme
court issued an alternative writ OF

The tangible value of property as
a basis of assessment has been dis

court held that in assessing property

that married woman is not bound by
mortgage executed by her for the benefit
of her husband. The decision was made in
the case of William Liberenz. He and his
wife mortgaged land which they owned
jointly and he used most OF the borrowed
money in building livery stable on lot
which belonged TO others. Afterward he
and his wife made the necessary affidavit
and procured a deduction from the tax
able value OF their land under the mort
gage exemption law. The court held that
the mortgasee- could only. recover "a per-
