current year, with all arrearage of taxes thus properly accruing

against it, including interest thereon at the rate of six percent

(6%) per annum from the time such tax should have become delinquent.

C. As to such property so grossly undervalued in assessment no

contract shall be made with anyone by either the State Board of

Equalization, or the board of county commissioners, to pay anyone a

commission or in any way causing same to be reassessed; but it shall

be the duty of the State Board of Equalization, with the assistance

of the Attorney General and the county assessor, with the assistance

of the district attorney, to make and cause such reassessment to be
