APPENDIX-STATE BOARDS OF EQUALIZATION.
State Boards of Equalization.
T THE State Board of Equalization was organized by act of the general assem- bly, approved March 8, 1867. As at first composed, the board consisted of twenty-five members, one elected from each senatorial district. In 1872 the law was so amended as to reduce the number of members to nineteen, one being elected from each congressional district. The first board, under the act of 1867, was appointed by the governor and held office two years. Since the first board, the term has been four years. The auditor of public accounts is, ex officio, a member of the board.
The duties of the board are to equalize the assessment between counties, by adding or deducting the per cent necessary to do so. The board is prohibited by law from reducing the aggregate assessment, but may increase it not to exceed one per cent. The board makes the assessment upon capital stock of incorporated companies and railroad property.
The sessions of the board are held annually, in August.
