Omitted Taxes.
This board. by circular issued taxing
officers, advised that attention be drst
given to assessments for 1915. its OBJ
jeet being to have a thorough, fun and
complete assessment for the current
year, not wishing that assessment to
be complicated or embarrassed by the
assessments of taxes for years prior
ehereto: realizing that the time was
limited and feeling that the best ser
vice which could be performed would
be for the taxing officers to address
themselves to the assessments solely
for 1915. and this board so advised. be-
lievinR that thus would be obtained
the best evidence of the sunicfency of
