FROM CHAPTER 490, ACTS OF 1909.
Part of Section 41 .- Assessors before making an assessment shall give seasonable notice thereof to all persons, firms and corporations, domestic or foreign, subject to taxation in their respective cities and towns. Such notice shall be posted in one or more public places in each city or town, or shall be given in some other sufficient manner, and shall require the said persons, firms and corporations to bring in to the asses- sors before a date therein specified, in case of residents a true list of all their polls and personal estate not exempt from taxation, and in case of non-residents and foreign corpora- tions a true list of all their personal estate in that city or town not exempt from taxation, and may or may not require such list to include their real estate which is subject to taxa- tion in that city or town.
Section 72 .- A person aggrieved by the taxes assessed upon him, may, within six months after the date of his tax bill, apply to the assessors for an abatement thereof; and if they
77
find that he is taxed at more than his just proportion, or upon assessment of any of his property in excess of its fair cash value, they shall make a reasonable abatement. A tenant of real estate paying rent therefor and under obligation to pay more than a moiety of the taxes thereon may apply for such abatement.
Section 73 .- A person shall not have an abatement, except as otherwise provided, unless he has brought in to the assess- ors the list of his estate as required by section forty-one. An executor, administrator or trustee after three years from the date of his appointment, or a tenant of real estate paying rent and under obligation to pay more than a moiety of the taxes thereon, may have an abatement, although no such list was brought in. If such list is not filed within the time speci- fied in the notice required by section forty-one, no part of the tax assessed upon the personal estate shall be abated unless the applicant shows to the assessors a reasonable excuse for the delay or unless such tax exceeds by more than fifty per cent. the amount which would have been assessed upon such estate if the list had been seasonably brought in, and in such case only the excess over such fifty per cent. shall be abated. If the applicant was not required by said notice to include his real estate in said list, and has not done so, he shall, if he seeks an abatement of the tax on his real estate, file with his application a list, verified as provided in section forty-three, of his real estate, with an estimate of the fair cash value of each parcel.
