Where Should II Be Assessed?

II farmer lives in one t0wnshp .
and has live stock located in another
township not connected with his home
place, where should the stock be as.
sessed? The question has been raised
many times in the last few years and
under the present law the state board
OF assessment and the attorney gen
eral have decided that it should be
assessed in the township where the
stock is being held. The district court
OF Wheeler county, however. in re.
Versing the county board, decided that
it should be assessed in the township
where the farm residence is located.
The matter has come to the attorney
generals Office in the hope that the
suit can be appealed and the supreme
court can be prevailed upon to voice
its opinion in the matter. The point
has never been passed upon by the
higher court.
