the road fund and of back taxes for the
year 1876 and previous years collected,
were presented and examined, said road re-
port showing balance on hand of $1S400,
both of which were, on motion, approved,
and the cancelled orders destroyed by
burning.
A petition from W. Nicholson was pre-
sented showing that clerical error had
been made IN copying the assessment on
Lotto block II, of the city of Cairo, and
asking that abatement he made therefor,
and the board being sufficiently advised
touching the same. II was ordered by the
board that said abatement be made and the
collector is hereby authorized to receive
taxes on said lot for the year 1878 passed
upon the assessment of 1879, which appears
to be the assessment intended to have been
made for 1878 by the assessor.
The bill of A. J. Alden, County Treasurer
and Assessor for making assessment of
1879, ETC., was presented, and inasmuch as
the portion of the taxes of 1878 set apart
for the payment Of the Treasurer and AS
SCISSOR would admit Of being legally drawn
upon to the amount of $4,000.
1t was thereupon ordered that the said
sum of $4,000 be allowed on account Of |
said bill and that a warrant for said
amount SO allowed be drawn against the
taxes of 1878 payable to the said A. J. Al
den. $45000.
The Board after hearing all objections to
the assessment of the year 1870, and after
making such corrections as appeared just,
IN cases where complaints were made, it
was ordered that the said assessment of |
real and personal property within
the county of Alexander, for the year 1870,
