City Attorney c. B. Kennedy pre-

| To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council Of the City of Canton, South
Dakota:
Gentlemen-You referred to the
city attorney for his opinion on the
question, under the law now in force,
is it the duty of the city assessor
elected at the general municipal
election in 1904, to assess the city
for the year 1906, or is it the duty of
the city assessor elected at the gen
eral municipal election held in April
1906?
Answering this question l will
state that section 1895 of Revised
Political Code of 1903, reads as fol-
lows: "The elective officers of city
shall hold their respective offices for
two years and until their successors
are elected and qualified This sec
tion was amended by chapter 66 of
the session laws of 1905, and the
amendment relating to the city asses
sor is as follows: "The terms of Of
fee of city assessors hereafter elected
shall begin on the first day of August
following their election"
The law requires that the assess
ment of property shall be commenced
in May each year and the assessment
roll be delivered to the county audi
tor on or before the first Monday Of
July, thereafter and the term of Office
of the assessor elected in April not
commencing until the first day of
August following his election he could
not assess the city, and the amend
ment providing that the term of
office of an assessor continues until
his successor is elected and qualified,
it follows, that the assessor elected
in 1904, continues in Office until the
first day of August 1906, and it is his
duty to assess the city.
| The report was unanimously adopt
ed and Mr.. Olson declared the official
assessor for the year, 1906.
The bond of A. II. Way as water
commissioner for 100000 with A. G..
Mold and c. II. Fitch as sureties, was
adopted.
