vember of every year, and as soon thereafter as may con-
veniently be done, they shall add to said lists all landed prop-
erty which during the preceding year shall have come under
either of said classes. The said Court may classify property
under this Act as soon as it meets the requirements thereof,

tax hereby provided, the said Appeal Tax Court shall give
notice to the owner of the said property, designating a certain
time when said owner may appear before said Court and be
heard in reference to the liability of said property for said
