The Leader in Men Clothes
How Automobiles and Lands
Will Be Assessed.

The Board of State Affairs has
adopted a uniform basis for the
assessment of automobiles, which
it is proposed to have the asses
sors of all the parishes adopt. The
rule follows:
For new machines, for the first
years assessment there shall be q
deduction made on the cost price
of Is per cent; for the second
years assessment, deduction of
81 per cent off the cost price, and
for the third years assessment, q
deduction of 80 per cent off of the
original cost price. For the fourth
years assessment, and all subse-
quent years, the full cash value of
the automobile shall be determin-
ed by having the owner make afh-
davit to its value the same as any
other prosperity"
The board has also adopted q
uniform classification for the as
sessment of agricultural lands,
which assessors will be required
to follow. The classification is
the same, with some slight mo-
difications, which has been evol.
we'd by the assessors and which
was tacitly approved by the State
Board of Equalization, under the
system. Heretofore, however, it
was purely optional with the as
SCISSORS whether they used it. For
the sake of uniformity, they will
be required by the Board of State
Affairs to adopt it. The Classic
cation follows:
