§ 58-780. There shall be a general reassessment of real estate in the
year nineteen hundred fifty-one and every sixth year thereafter in each
of the counties of this Commonwealth containing twenty-one thousand or
more population according to the United States census of nineteen hundred
forty ; but, if any such county utilized the assistance of the Department of
Taxation in its last general reassessment of real estate, there shall be no
general reassessment of real estate in such county in the year nineteen
hundred fifty-one, and the next general reassessment of real estate therein
shall be in the sixth year after the last general reassessment, and sub-
sequent general reassessments therein shall be in every sixth year there-
after.

Provided, governing bodies of counties containing twenty-one thou-
sand three hundred but less than twenty-one thousand five hundred popu-
lation according to the last preceding United States decennial census shall
require such reassessment during the year nineteen hundred fifty-four but
may permit the reassessment to be completed in nineteen hundred fifty-five
a wt appears that it cannot be completed in nineteen hundred fifty-four,

quent general reassessments.
