of December of the preceding year:

number of shares into which the same is divided, or if the company
has no capital stock, then the number of shares or interests into
which it is divided, together with the value placed upon each share,
or interest, for bookkeeping purposes;
5.  The market value of the share of the capital stock, or of
the shares or interest of the company, which market price shall be
determined by the average price at which such shares of the capital
stock or shares or interest of the company shall have been sold
during the year upon the New York Stock Exchange, or if such shares
or interest of the company are not listed upon the New York Stock
Exchange, then the average price at which the same have been sold

C.  In assessing any express company, the State Board of
Equalization may determine the value of all property of such company
pertaining to or employed in its express business, and allocate to
Oklahoma its proportion of the total value upon any just and
reasonable basis. The total assessment for the state shall then be
allocated to the various counties, and municipal subdivisions
thereof, in the proportion which the mileage of the express company
in such counties and subdivisions bears to the total mileage of such

company in this state.  Where an express company has an office or
other taxable property in a county or other taxing district in which
it has no operated mileage, such property shall be listed and
assessed in the county and taxing district where located on January
