It is not possible to give complete figures for any of the years of assessment mentioned. Assessments for even the earliest of those years can be made up to the 5th April, 1930. It is, however, possible to give the numbers of assessments made in the year 1926-27— i.e., the total number of assessments made during that year in respect of the year 1926-27, together with additional assessments in respect of earlier years made during the year 1926-27. These figures are as follow:—
