St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1918-07-06

curing a correct aSSSSSlI0uL VI LLAS
class of property.
We notice that some other jur1es
have refused to obtain this informa-
ton. To our mind it appears unfair
and unjust to a large class of tax
payers for some police juries to
make this requirement while a large
number of others do not. The terms
should be uniform so that all might
be treated alike.
All that this Board is interested IN
is to obtain a fair and just assess
ment of each individuals property,
and the correct quantity or number OF
head shall be listed. This informa-
ton could be given to the assessor so
that he might check the renditions
made in his office, or if no rendi-
lions have been made that he might
obtain the correct number OF head.
The reports filed in this office shoW
that during the month of May there
was over two million head of cattle
and allowing for dipping twice a
month, there would be oVer a million
head on hand and there are a large
number of parishes that only dip IN
part because they are tick-free. This
was less than half the number as
sessed last year. In justice to all, we
would like the assessor to obtain an
approximate correct number SO that
there might be a square deal all
around, as far as possible.
Trusting that the police jury will
realize a full sense of their duty and
cooperate with the assessor in this
connection, we beg to remain.
Very truly yours,
BOARD OF STATE AFFAIRS,
