uures that the tax assessors shall adver-
tise for a certain length OF time in one OF
the large newspapers of the city and shall
also post notices in public places which
shall notify all citizens TO appear before
the board of assessors and make state
ment regarding their real estate and per-
sonal property. II. after the law has been
complied with. the persons 80 having
property do not appear. they must abide
bv the consequences. and they have no
chance for redress This law, SO General
Rhodes said was not very clearly under
