At the said meeting the board shall have the power to change erroneous assessments or to add omitted property but any person affected by such action shall have notice as next above provided. If the board adjourn before considering the objections filed, such objections shall be heard at the next regular meeting of the board.(2) The board of supervisors may take an objection under advisement to allow the taxpayer or his designee, the tax assessor or the board to compile information relating to the objection; however, the board shall enter an order on the objection on or before the first Monday of September.Codes, Hemingway's 1921 Supp. § 7769d1; 1930, § 3165; 1942, § 9789; Laws, 1920, ch. 323; Laws, 1989, ch. 338, § 1, eff. 7/1/1989.
