the corporation commission shall furnish to the chairman of the board
of supervisors of each county, and the president of the council of each
city, a list of railroad, canal, telegraph and telephone companies within
the said counties and cities, together with the number of miles of said
railroads, canals, telephones and telegraphs, and the assessments made
thereon by the said corporation commission; and it shall be the duty
of the boards of supervisors of the counties and the councils of cities,
te forthwith check over and compare said lists and assessments, and
ascertain whether they be correct, and to notify the said clerk of the
corporation commission accordingly. The said boards of supervisors
and councils of said cities may, when there is reason to doubt the cor-
rectness of the assessed length of any line, require the county surveyor
to make all necessary surveys in order to properly verify the assessment
of the corporation commission and appropriate a sum out of the county
or city levy to pay said surveyor for such surveys. [f any chairman of
the board of supervisors, or president of any city council, fail to call
the attention of their respective bodies to the requirements he shall be
fined not less than ten dollars nor more than twenty-five dollars for each
offense.
