It shall be the duty of the assessor of Harrison county to file with the chancery clerk of said county two (2) copies each of the land and personal rolls of said county, filing one (1) of each with the said clerk at his office at Gulfport and one (1) of each at his office at Biloxi, and the board of supervisors, in passing on said assessment rolls, shall at the proper meeting held by them at Biloxi, approve such of said rolls as shall relate to and embrace property included and being in the second district, and at the proper meeting held in Gulfport shall approve such of said rolls as shall relate to and embrace property included in the first district, and in all instances acting upon said rolls, insofar as the territory embraced in each of the respective districts is concerned, in the same manner as though the action or approval of the assessment rolls related to the approval thereof of different counties. The assessor and clerk shall provide suitable copies of said entire rolls, as finally approved, in all instances where required by law, as though said rolls related to different counties; provided, that only one (1) copy of each shall be required to be filed with any state office, in which said roll shall be required to be filed under the law now or hereafter existing, insofar as the same shall relate to each of said districts. At the time of hearing objections to the assessment rolls each year, the board shall adjourn, for the purpose of hearing objections to the assessment roll, from the district in which it may be regularly in session to the other district, and remain in session not longer than the time provided by law for a separate county and so as to give a hearing on any objections to the taxpayers of the respective districts in the particular district of the taxpayer insofar as may be practical under the circumstances.
