Only Duplicates to be Opened for Public Inspection
Sprinavieto, Ib Dec 16 According to Attorney General Akin only duplicate county assessor books must be kept for public inspection. Original books filed with the county clerk need not remain on file in the assessor's office. Assessors should make up new books each year, while the real property assessment set can be delivered to the county clerk for guidance. The AG also holds that adopting the 1898 primary election law by a county stands good despite the 1899 law.
