1t was resolved by the commission
that the determination of the price

classification shall be held in temper
airy allegiance; that the various Coun-
ty Assessors be instructed to gather
land classification data. make entry
thereof on their 1915 assessment rolls
and await further instructions from
the commission before entering
prices.
1t was also resolved by the COM
mission that land which by reason of
character alone would be placed in
one of the foregoing classes, but
which by reason of extra desirable
location or other cause, is, in the
opinion of the Assessor. of a greater
valuation than land in general COM
ing under a like character of CLASH
fcation. shall be entered on the 1915
assessment roll on a separate line, its
general classification given preceded
by the word Special and followed
by figures showing its estimated ex-
cess value. AS for example: John
Doe owns 800 acres offrst class cul-
tivated land, 20 miles from the city
of Reno, and ten acres of first class
cultivated land adjoining the city
limits of Reno, where, by reason of
its location, it is worth per acre four
times as much as the more distant
and. Entry will be made thus:
John Doe-First class cultivated
and, 800 acres; special first class
land (4O0 per cent?, ten
acres.
