the property owners OF the town whose In
terests are seriously injured by such nissepre~

selves.
As q comparison IS constantly drawn
between the Town OF Lake and the VII
lage Of Hyde Park. and as these arc
the only towns In Cook County between which
such comparison can be fairly made, / have
procured ! certificate from the County Clerk
showing the valuations, total municipal tax, and
rates per cent Of both towns for the wears 1875,
1876, 1877, and 1878, OF which certificate the fol-

of my ofise. In witness whereof have berennto
Court at my office in the city of Chicago. IN said
county, this 2oth day of February, 4. D. 1870
Clerk Of the County Court.
The above certificate shows that the tax levy
OF the Town OF Lake WAS ia 1877 $24, 1i6 less
than in 1875, aud In 1878 33o4 less than III
1877, and $57, $40 less than in 1876.
The present Indebtedness OF the Town OF
Lake Is Us follows:
Seven per cent general bonds, interest nm
paid to JIM /, 1870 COO 90
Ten pcr cent special assessment water
loan certificates, and interest accrued
thereon IN full to Jun. !, 1879. 1854, 800. 90
Outstanding warrants or scrip drawn
against taxes Of 1878.... n, 467.75
Total .......... .......... ..s5a3, 7o7. 20
To meet this Indebtedness the town has asseta
as follows:
Taxes of 1875. on which sales are now
being made by County Treasurer,
under mandate from Supreme Courts 13, 842. 81
Forfeited taxes of 1877 and pr1or years

The above statement shows that II the taxes
now due were paid and applied towards the con-
citation OF Indebtedness, that the net debt Of
the Town OF Lake would be only the SUN Of
S5G,5e2.
The above figures are substantially correct:
they arc compiled from the town records and
Collectors books, and have not included III
the above statement OF assets any Of the prof.
erty of the town which is not available for the
pavmeut Of debt, such as It's one-half interest
