motion that mules in Maccn

turned by the assessor. Hadley
made the motion that asses and
jennets, Of which there are i08 In
Macon county, remain the same
as returned by the assessor.
"The board in considering the
various properties Of the state
considered horses, mules, cattle.
sheep, hogs, etc., separate and
each class was acted upon separ-
ateiy and upon motion Of the au-
ditor. Personal property was
not considered nor acted upon in
connection with real estate at all.
Real estate was passed upon by
itself, and it would have been o
physical impossibility for the
governor to have made the char.
acter of motion he says, because
real estate and personal property
cannot be and were not consid-
cred together.
"In considering real estate the
governor specially voted, as the
record affirmatively discloses. to
increase the assessment of real
estate from ten to twenty per cent
in all the following counties, to.
wit: Morgan, Johnson, Henry,
Vernon, Dade, st. Clair, Newton,
