only in such cases as to where the property remaining in the name of the
person to whom it was assessed and charged at the time of the making of
the levy is not of sufficient amount, to cover the tax bill. Then, in that
event, the clerk, treasurer and collector shall proceed to locate and hold
such property as responsible for the tax bills to the amount and value as
it is assessed on the tax records at the time said levy was made.

They shall also give notice to any person that they propose to assess
him or her with property, not on the assessment book, or for improvements
in property. In all cases, affecting property already entered on the assess-
ment book where applications have been made, or notice has been given,
of proposed changes, the Commissioners of Cambridge shall have author-
ity to increase or diminish any assessment, as may seem right. In cases,
either for changing the assessments already on the assessment book, or for
making additions thereto, the Commissioners of Cambridge may hear evi-
dence, on oath, to be administered by the Mayor, or one of the other Com-
missioners, but no assessment already on the assessment book shall be
changed at said sittings without the concurrence of three or more of the
Commissioners.

Each Commissioner shall receive for his services under this section,
and also when sitting as a board of review, the sum of three dollars per
day, for each day that he is present from 9 A. M. to 12 M., and from 1
P. M. to 5 P. M., in addition to the compensation provided by Section 62
of this Charter. lu case of any general assessment of the property in
Cambridge, the Commissioners of Cambridge shall sit as a Board of Re-
view to hear complaint, and to make adjustments. Said sitting shall not
continue more than fifteen days for any one general assessment.

REMOVAL FROM OFFICE.

1900, ch. 339, sec. 68.

86. The Commissioners may remove from office, or discharge from
employment, the town clerk and treasurer, the chief bailiff and any other
officer or employee that may be elected or appointed under the authority
of the charter, or any ordinance or order of the Commissioner (whether be
the term of service under which he holds his office or employment), for
neglect of duty, for incompetence, or for any other misconduct, which, in
the judgment of the Commissioners, constitute reasonable and sufficient
ground for removing him from office, or depriving him of employment.
In all cases, where the official or employee has any fixed or definite term
of service, a charge or complaint, in writing, shall be presented to him,
and evidence as to the facts alleged in such charge or complaint, shall be
taken before the Commissioners if he denies the correctness or truth of
same. But, where the delinquent holds his employment, at the will of the
Commissioners, they may discharge him, with or without formal charge
or hearing, if they consider it just, right or expedient thus to do.
