ยง 24. Appraisal of estate in the hands of assignee. Whenever it shall
become necessary to appraise in whole or in part any estate in the hands
of any assignee for the benefit of creditors, the persons whose duty it
shall be to make such appraisal shall value the real estate at its full
and true value, taking into consideration actual sales of neighboring
real estate similarly situated during the year immediately preceding the
date of such appraisal, if any; and they shall value all such property,
stocks, bonds or securities as are customarily bought or sold in open

appraisal or report may be required, by ascertaining the range of the
market and the average of prices as thus found, running through a
reasonable period of time.
