Senator Echols, in Senate bill No
34S. provides for the amendment OF
Section 4i4 OF the Code In relation &C
lands. The amendments relate TO CIV
ing the person aggrieved until the Is,
of February of the second year after
the assessment TO apply to the c1u ll,
amendment was adopted by the Legis-
lature of 1904. but was inadvertently
left out of the amended act which
passed the Legislature OF 1906.
The reason for the amendment is that
the average taxpayer does not learn
of the increased assessments OF his
land until he receives his tax bill based
upon the new assessment when Is al :
ways later than the 1st of February in
the year succeeding the assessment.
because the tax bills sent out for the
year when the assessment is made are
all based on the old assessment made
five years before
Other amendments made by this bill
are that any owner of land. which is
not under lease requiring the lessee TO
pay the taxes. may apply In writing to
the court or judge to have the assess
ment increased. the application should
state the amount OF such proposed in
crease and the date when 1t Is desired
that 1t go into effect. which shall not
be later than the date when the petit
tion is presented.
Delegate Thrift. in House bin No.
2Od, provides that where road has

work and use continuously for period
of twenty years 1t shall DO conclusively

those Circuit courts where special
terms sometimes intervene between
the end of the thirty days within

However. 1T has been decided that
special terms are not such terms as to

rather. that they are no terms at all
within the meaning of any statute, un :
less they are designated particularly
or by necessary Inference. 1t is be-
licved that the end aimed at by the
