may be we'll to remind all that the

should be assessed at ite full value,
that is, it's cash value, if the property
should be put up for sale. No tax.

must take what is given him, and if
there are inequalities, the Boards of
Assessors and be, are responsible for
it. 4 great effort in all the counties
is being made to get correct returns.
