Show COUNT REQUIRED ON ALL LIVESTOCK For the purpose of the 1928 tax assessment, as-sessment, all livestock in the state are to be actually counted according to the instructions received by County Assessor As-sessor Will Brooks from the State Board of Equalization. The letter conveying con-veying such instructions, we are publishing pub-lishing herewith: "Pursuant to the opinion of the attorney at-torney general under date of December Decem-ber 15, 1927, regarding the powers and duties of this department in supervising super-vising assessments made by county assessors, as-sessors, the board has arranged to assist as-sist assessors in making assessments on livestock. With this purpose in view it has employed several field assistants assist-ants who will work in different parts of the state commencing the first of the year. "It will be manifestly impossible for these assistants to aid each assessor beginning the first of the year, because not enough of them were employed to cover the entire state at one time; but it is the plan of the board to have these men assist as many county assessors as-sessors as is possible. Later in the year the assistants will check the livestock assesments in those counties where they did not operate during the original origi-nal assessments. "You are instructed to make an actual count of all livestock, where this is physically possible, and to assess for full numbers without making any deductions for any contemplated loss. This principle applies to cattle and to other forms of property as well. We trust that you will make this matter sufficiently plain to your deputy assessors as-sessors so that when the check is made . later in the season in regard to your livestock assessments, it will be found that they are uniformly assessed for full numbers without exception.
