TERNAL REVENUE, WASHINGTON. April
5, 187O.-SIR: 1t has heretofore been the
practice OF Assessors to publish the an
nual list of assessments made on the in

sire that, in future, it be discontinued.

lie from inspecting lists as heretofore,
under the provisions of Section 10, Act
July ID. 1866. Very respectfully,
(Signcd) G. DELANO,
