Report adopted.
The following was laid before the
Board.
Mn. our committee
to whom was referred the petition of
G.. L. Gower ct al. for relief from al
legged errors in assessment Of lands
on left bank Of Cedar river, in town
ship 81, respectfully report tina, they
have said petition under considera-
ton, and have compared the contents
of the same with the books in the
Treasurer's office. We find that none
of the lands assessed to petitioners
for the year ls.4-which assessment
is said by petitioners TO be correct
are advertised for sale for the years
1873, ~, II, 20, 80 or '6S. We
are Of the opinion that if an error has
been made in listing said lands for
taxation, such error can be corrected
by the proper officers, but that it is
not a matter for the proper action Of
the Board. We recommend the pc
tition be returned.
