An act of the Legislature of 1007 provides that the County Judge, County Clerk and Assessor of the several coun ties of this state shall constitute thu Board of Equalization to exumine mi l correct the assessment rolls returned by the Assessors in their several coun ties, and to increase or reduce the valu ation of the properly therein assessed, so that the same shall bo full cash value thereof aud to assess omitted taxable property. ''The board shall meet at the court-hnu-H in the several counties on the thiid .Monday of October iu each year, ami the County Clerk shall lay before the Board the assessment rolls returned l the Assessor. The County JudHe Kliull, if pretent, be chairmau of the Board,-and the County Clerk shall, if present, be clerk thereof. Two members of such Board shall constitute a quorum." Section 4 of said Act provides, "That applications or petitions for ttie reduc tion of a particular assessment shall bo made in writing verified by the oath of the applicant or his attorney, and be filed with the Board during the first. week it is by law required to be in session, and uny petition or application not so made, verified and filed shall m t be considered or acted upou by too Board." Section 6 of the Act provides, "That ald Board of Equalization shall con tinue its sessions from day to duy, exclusive of Siiudavsand legal holiday., until the examination and correction uud equalization of the assessment rolls shall be completed; but it shall com plete said examination, correction ami equalization, within one mouth from the time it U by law required to meet, and, unless sooner completed, at the expiration of one mouth from the time the Board Is herein required to meet, the examination, correction and equal ization of said assessment rolls shall he deemed to be complete." There is nothing in tho Act which authorizes the Biard to act after the expiration of said month, nor is there any law authorizing them to meet as such after the expiration of said month, therefore its work must be completed within that time. The Attorney General o( Oregon has rendered a written opinion in which he holds th a t Boards of Equalization can not act as such after the expiration of said month. . Under the law as it no exists the County Court has no power at all to lower or Increase assessments on the tux rolls or otherwise change the rolls in any way. Died.
