although in many cases IL has been found neces-

In many cases there had been fragrant violation
OF their duties by their predecessors, looking
very much as though there had been collusion

In support Of this belief it is asserted-and We

worth from fifteen to twenty thousand dollars
had been previously assessed at five or six thou
sand dollars. And yet among this class Of tax.
