fore them, claiming clerical error in

satisfied from the certificate of the as
SCISSOR and an examination Of the asses
Sor'S book, that the same is a clerical er-
rOr, and that the intention was to assess
said lot at 500 instead of 81, 600. And

the town of Mendoza to receipt for the
taxes on said lot for the year 1881, on
payment of ten per cent. thereof.

being fully satisfied the same is an err
rOr, and that it was intended to assess
said lot at $50 instead of $500, we there
fore recommend the clerk to pursue the
same course as recommended in the
Mendoza case, VIZ: to instruct the col
