525. On or before the first day of June, 1928, each third year there-
after the council shall appoint three assessors, free-holders of said town,
who shall, under the direction of said council, make an assessment of all
property, real, personal and mixed, in said town, at fair cash value at pub-
lic sale as near as they may be able to determine the value of the same,
and the council shall immediately thereupon levy a tax thereon not ex-
ceeding 60 cents on the $100.00 worth of assessable property, in any one
year ; and all taxes so levied shall be a lien on any and all property of the
person or persons against whom they may be levied. And any person may
appeal from the valuation of the said assessors to the council, which shall
meet on the first Monday in July, after said assessment, and remain in
session from day to day as long as may be reasonable, to hear and deter-
mine said appeals, and shall give reasonable notice of said meetings and
shall increase or reduce said assessment as they may deem just; and the
Council shall, once a year, before fixing and deciding upon the amount
of taxes and licenses to be assessed for the ensuing year, cause to be made
out a detailed estimate exhibiting the items of liability and expense dur-
ing said year, and shall cause the same to be published at least three
times, once a week for three consecutive weeks, in a newspaper published
in Montgomery County, and after hearing and considering objections
thereto by the owners of said property in said town, if any such shall be
made, shall revise such detailed estimate and fix and assess for the ensuing
year such rate of taxation, not exceeding sixty (60) cents on every
$100.00 worth of property, as they shall deem necessary, together with
other revenues of the town, to meet said revised estimate of liability and
expenditures. Said revised detailed estimate, together with the rate of
taxation, shall be published twice in a newspaper published and printed
in Montgomery County, and the adoption of said revised detailed estimate
shall thereby be and become the appropriation of the respective amount
for the purposes therein stated; and the Council shall not audit nor shall
the Clerk draw or sign any check in payment of any claim until an appro-
priation therefor shall have been duly signed by the Mayor of said town.
