NO DEPUTY ASSESSORS
FOR PRESENT YEAR.
Township Assessors Must Perform
Their Work Alone.

There will be no deputy assessors
in any township In Kansas this year.
This Is the final order Of the state
tax commission and the attorney gen.
eral. At the time of the meeting OF
the county assessors in Topeka In
January 1t was shown that the law
did not permit the appointment Of
the deputy assessors and also that 1t
was practically impossible for most
of the township assessors to do all
the work In the time specified with
out help. The ta1 commission an
nounced that 1t would ask the attor-
ney general for an opinion on this
matter and Mr.. Jackson has Just
made this reply. The tax commits
sion, in a circular issued to all coun-
