TWO STATUES ON

An examination has recently

the assessors were compelled to classi-
fly the property as rural which has
not been DONE The law was shown
to the board and the property owners
are also talking Of taking test case
before the courts in order to compel
the city to make the classification de.
signated
There is no doubt of the law being
passed, but upon the following page
of the same volume is another law
which repeals the law quoted. The
story of the two laws is this: The
first was drawn by Major Edmund
Mitchell, Jr., who was then an asses.
sor and collector. After it had been
passed it did not meet the approval
Of James B. Oberly, then the chair
man of the finance committee, and
others who Wern members of COln.
Gil, and the second law was drawn
which gives the Board Of Assessment,
Revision and Appeals the power to
classify property in the city and take
it out of the hands Of the assessor.
The first law is found upon page PAL
of the laws Of 1898, and the law re-
pealing it is found upon the page
Immediately following. The second
law repeals all other acts linconslstant
and states that it especially repeals
the act on the previous page.
