OF INTEREST TO ALL.

It has been customary in West
Virginia to have all real estate
reassessed at intervals of about
ten years.
The present assessed valuations
were fixed under the provisions OF
the act of February %, 1889, and
the first taxes on them as a basis
were those for the year 1900. The
provision of this Act Of 1899, in
reference to the method of ascer-
tanning values was that the COM
missioner should proceed to ex-
anime in person all the tracts Of
land and town lots. with buildings
and improvements. if any thereon,
within his district, and upon such
examination and in accordance
with his instructions and the pro-
visions of the act, ascertain and
assess the fair cash value there
of.
At the recent special session Of
the Legislature it was ordered
though only five years had elapsed
since the last reassessment, that
all real estate in the State should
be again reasseSsed. such reassesS-
ment to be the basis for the taxes
of the year 1906. and thereafter
until the next assessment.
The act under which this new
assessment will be made was
known as House Bill No. %. 1t is
now chapter - of "Advance
Chapter Acts of West Virginia,
Extra Session, 1904" 1t provides:
That the State Tax commits
sioner-an official created at the
special session-shall appoint a
commissioner for each county in
the State to reassess the value OF
all real estate in such county; and
that such commissioner after quail
flying,
"Shall, on the first day of Jan
uary, 1905, proceed in person to
examine all the tracts of land and
town lots, with all buildings and
improvements thereon, in his
county, and shall upon such ex-
animation and by the aid of all
such information as he may be
able to obtain respecting their
value, ascertain and assess the
true and actual value thereof,
that is to say, at the price for
which such property would sell if
voluntarily offered for sale by the
owner thereof upon the terms up
on which such property is usually
sold, and not the price which
might be realized upon a forced
sale
The difference in the two meth
DDS of fixing the valuation for
taxation is substantially that the
old took the fair cash value as the
thing to be ascertained, and the
new requires that the valuation
for taxation shall be what the
property would bring at voluntary
sale.
There have been four of these
general reassessmentS of real eS-
tate. The first for the year 1873,
added to the value of real estate
in round numbers. $4,000 900: the
second, for 1888, 100000: the
third. for 1892, $23.O00,OOO, and
the last for 1900, 100000, and
the question very naturally arises,
how much will the tax value OF
real estate be increased by the re-
assessment to be made as OF the
first day of January next?
Each real estate owner must an
swer this question for himself. He
may take it for granted that at
ter January the tax value OF
