In making an arbitrary assessment
the law does not require the assessor
to have exact knowledge of the value
Of the property; he is authorized to
make the, assessment upon This best
information and belief" and in such
cases he must impose the penalty. II
the assessor should overvalue any OF
the items of the property the. person
against whom the assessment is made
is not entitled to any relief, unless
the aggregate of such assessment is
excessive.
IF a berson was assessed for this
class of property last year and fails

SCISSOR is required to make an arbi
trary assessment and cannot fix thu
amount at less, but may make it NOR
than the amount legally assessed
against such person last year.
