STATE HOUSE--A

to create q valid tax title by the forfei-
ture Of land for the non-payment Of
tax, the statutory provisions applicable
must be strictly construed and strictly
complied with. 1t is the custom. l under
stand, for the assessors Of towns to COM
bine the perfect list" with the record"
in a book called a valuation book signing
the same at the end and thereby making
a perfect list and record both under their
hands. This is the form of record of as
sessment which has been before our
courts for consideration in the cases APP
pearing in our reports bearing upon this
question. And our court has held that
such record is itself final and from 1t
alone without evidence aliunde must be
determined what was assessed.
THE record that Is, the signed perfect
list" and the record thereof. II the COM
bined list and record are used, and on
the other hand the list alone under the
hands Of the assessors, must, it appears
from the authorities, contain a sufficient
owner means of identification of the land
which is assessed. This record" must
be complete, must itself show just what is
assessed and the amount Of assessment
thereon and according to Sweetsir VS..
Chandler. supra, no outside evidence of
any sort will be accepted to modify that
record. The term assessment" applies
in this record"
eff the description of the real estate
was contained in a separate valuation
book or on a separate card and is not
written into the perfect list or in the
combined valuation book containing both
the perfect list and record" it would
be necessary to resort to evidence aliunde
in order to prove that the card containing
the description or the separate valuation
book was in fact the card or book re-
ferred to in the record that is, In the
list and record otherwise called the valua-
ton book signed by the assessors. Such
evidence aliunde is not admissible. The
record must stand alone.
1.-The courts will not go beyond the rec
ord itself. A mere reference in the rec
ord to some other book or to some card
unless it be sufficient in itself to give a
description of the property which will
afford the owner opportunity of identif1ca-
tion" is all that the court will consider
ana the plan suggested, Vi COuiSe, Col-
templates only the reference in the rec
ord" and not sufficiently complete de-
scripton.
1T is therefore my opinion that the use
of a card system or separate valuation
book for carrying the description of real
estate and making up the assessment b,
assessors of towns is not safe ana
proper method. And complete descrip-
tion Of all parcels Of real estate upon
which the tax for any year is assessed
should be actually written into and made
part Of the valuation book which they
| annually fill in and sign. Such valuation
book cay consist of more than one volume
however, if it appear that the several
volumes, each are a component part of
the whole. 1t is safe. however, to have
each and every volume of the valuation
book and record signed and identified as
one of a number of volumes making up
, the complete valuation list and record"

Fertilizer Situation Serious.

Hon. John E. Bunker Of Bar Harbor
executive secretary of the state, COM
mittee Of public safety said Wednesday
afternoon that while two carloads of
grain for planting were in sight for
the Maine farmers the fertilizer prob
lem at the present time was a serious
one.
One carload Of wheat is expected to
arrive at Waterville on May 10. is
owned by and consigned to the Batch
elder Flour Company Of that city but
which will be divided into shipments
for the farmers who desire it for ust
as seed at 1915 per bushel, f. o. b. In
these shipments the farmers will be
supplied in the order in which their
applications are received. The second
carload of wheat will arrive about
May IL and like the first one will be
consigned to B. L. Batchelder at Wa
terville. This second car load is the
property, however, Of the committee
on public safety and will be distributed
in the same manner as the first lot.
Mr.. Bunker received word today that
an earlier car Of wheat which had
come by express, consigned to Hon.
J. S. P. H. Wilson of Auburn, mem
Der of the committee on public safety,
had all been closed out to the farmers
applying for it at 81 per bushel.
The fertilizer question is a very Sc
| rious one just now, says Mr.. Bunker.
The Sagadahoc Fertilizer Co. is in a
position to put out at the present
time about 1000 tons to consumers
which has not been ordered and if the
concern is able to get certain ingre-
dients which 1t has not now on hand
it may be able to put out $500 tons
more.
Mr.. Bunker stated today that he
had written all the fertilizer concerns
outside the state doing business in
Maine and out of 18 replies not one
was able to furnish any fertilizer for
Maine farmers and could not fill the
orders which they already had
Mr.. Bunker further said that the
executive committee Of the committee
on public safety had received a tele-
gram from Governor Mjlliken which
indicates that the Governor hopes to
be able to secure some fertilizer for
the Maine farmers as the outcome Of
conferences which are now being held
at Washington with the large manu-
facturers of fertilizers and the nation
al committee on food production, con-
sisting Of delegates from the differ
ent states of the Union.
