Richmond, Va, Feb. What con-

state tax board in its effort TO pro-
mote uniform and equitable assess
ments OF real estate, has requested
the judges who appoint assessors 10
direct their attention towards the con-
stitutional mandate that lands must
be assessed at a fair market value.
Realizing that no hard and fast
rule can be established for the de-
termination Of such Ii question. ana

various parts Of the state TO give a
moro definite ruling or the subject,
the state tax board, composed OF the
governor, the auditor Of public ac-
counts and the chairman OF the state
corporation comm ission, have issued
a second letter 10 the judges in which
they say that the term 'iatr market
value" does not lend itself easily TO
a precise definition, but permits the
exercise OF discretion on the part of
the assessors
The tax board. through Governor
Davis. its chairman, calls attention TO
the present abnormaily high prices
and inflated land values and states
that il does not desire the land asses
