A Xcw Tax BUI.
Among the importaBt measures
before the Legislature is one to
chnuge the mode of assessing takes,
submitted Dv Senator A. C, West..
b.-oi k, of the Tenth district,
(Dotioberiy and B iker ) This pro
v.des tor the appnirtmniit, i‘r each
county, of a “board oi equaligiiion,’’
con.-i.-tinp of eight be-holders ia
c-muties eatnled ic tliroa rep v e<*n
talives, and of sik in th ■ olh^rs, to
be nominated by timer an J jury at
it» n* xl regular term, and confirm..
• d by the judge, half oi the board
to serve two and tba remainder
four years. The b ard is to re¬
ceive as compensaMon the same per

p'-esect bis lists to the boards at

specilon. The board is to canvass
such list and to correct all under*
valuation', and the tax receiver
sh 'li then notify ihw taxpayer of all
*uch corrections, and the taxpayer,
if aggiievtd, shall appear before
the board and review its action.
The same privilege is extended to
non-redden* tax owners by their
u/'Ots. In tlio case of hid etc 'o
return property lor taR, the board
j a required to nrrke a fud valutuiovt
a|)(1 lh( . n n lor default,
which duplication the board may
retci’, where it can be shown that
the default is not. duo to negligence
or ether culpability of tbo owner.
The “full and true v.duu” of prop
