In all cases oil field equipment, drilling equipment, construction equipment, road machinery, and equipment used by construction, road building, or drilling contractors or companies or individuals engaged in such businesses, shall be taxable in the county, school districts, and municipal subdivision thereof, where actually located on the first day of January of each year, but if same is not assessed in said county it shall be subject to assessment and taxation in the county of the owner's domicile. Goods, wares, merchandise and property becoming a part of the finished product of drilling equipment, for use outside the continental United States shall not be subject to any other taxes.

# B.

When any personal property is brought into or located in this state or removed from one county to another within this state between January 1 and September 1, and shall acquire an actual situs therein before the first of September, such property shall be listed and assessed and taxable where situated after such removal or change in location, unless such property has already been assessed in some other state or county for the current year, or the property was originally produced in this state subsequent to January 1, but if same is not assessed in said county it shall be subject to assessment and taxation in the county of the owner's domicile.

# C.
