p roperty to an equalised basis by
1962, has ordered th a t fo r next
year real p ro p e rty be appeased at
»0 per cent o f tru e cash value In
stead o f the 80 per cent th a t has
prevailed fo r the past few years.
Personal pro p e rty has been va lu
ed at 100 per cent o f, tru e cash
value fo r some time.
