bills that in the hands of the Assistant Attorney
without making any allowance for reductions made
upol$1ke certificates OF the Assessors and for the re-
duetions made in consequence of the double assess
ment of property These reductions, made in conse-
Guence Of these causes, amount to a large sum- and
hopes that the report made blythe experts would

the statements of the experts, am not aware that
there is any thing calling for explanation.
Yours, veEy respectfully,
