Assessment of Fine stock.
Attorney General Thompson has given out
the following opinion
LINCOLN, April 5.-M w. Terry County
Attorney OF Gage County: Dear Sir-I have
your letter asking me for an opinion as
10 whether OF not registered pedigreed live
stock should be assessed for taxation at
its value as pedigreed stock for breeding
purposes or at its market value per pound
! for beef or pork.
Section r. article l. chapter q, compiled
statutes OF 1906, provides: Actual value
as used In this act shall mean it's value in
the market in the ordinary course OF trade"
! I take IL this does not mean that the
value OF pedigreed stock. used for breeding
purposes, shall be determined by what such
stock would be worth in the market for
| beef or pork II Is a matter OF common
knowledge that pedigreed breeding stock
constitutes a class of property distinct from
stock sold on the market for human con-
sumption. In my opinion such property
has an actual market value peculiar 10 the
class to which Il belongs. and therefore
| that its value for taxation should be de-
termined with reference to its particular
class As a general rule, in finding the
value OF any property for taxation the class
20 which Il belongs should be taken into
consideration. To take property out of its
class and consider II with reference to a
class TO which It does not belong IN de-
termining its value for taxation would, In
my judgment, be unwarranted
