(1958) County board of equalization's authority is limited to equalizing valuations of property within its jurisdiction and the tax commission's jurisdiction on appeal is purely derivative. The tax commission's original jurisdiction to equalize valuations as between counties does not give it authority to attempt to equalize assessments of specific property as between one county and property in another on an appeal from a county board of equalization.
