turn OF the taxes paid 10y the executor OF
the Reddiok estts for the year 1881, on the
ground that II dimini-h-s the fund of said

no expense In the settlement OF the Red

tiuu, that the county Retained and paid Mr,
Brewer $4OO attorney fees in SAID case, aud
tnut The county attorney was also EN- ployed.
Your committee, upon consultation with
the county attorney, are OF the opinion that
the board has no right 10 refund the taxes
legally levied, collected aud paid into the
treasury, and therefore ask 10 he released
from further consideration Of the matter.

Hr. Chairman dc Your committee on
complaints and Attachments would respect
fully report that they have examined the
matter Of the petition Of Matilda White,
Of the town OF Serena, La Sale county, pre-
scented before them, and recommend the
following: Your committee find that the
assessor of said town has committed AN er-
ror In assessing the property Of the said
Matilda " hite We also find that the
collector of said town has made his return
10 the county treasurer. Said Matilda
White has paid u couHty tax to the amount
of 50 90. On correct assessment her
county tax would have been only $2l4.

To the Honorable the Chairman and Members
Of the Board Of Supervisors Of la Sale
County, Illinois:
Your petitio aer, the Ladies' Relief Society
of the city Of Ottawa, would respectfully
represent that nothing has been paid to.
ward the support OF Cora Whaley in the
Errinp Womans Home, of Chicago, since the
LIST day Of last October. They attach one
letter hereto received from one Of the man
ayers Of the home showing her condition.
From other letters II is learned thai there Is
u prospect that she may be able after awhile
TO become selfsupporting. If she is re
turned 10 this city now. she must become q
public charge, and to say nothing Of the cor
ruption Of public morals. the expense 10 the
county will largely exceed the cost OF sup
porting her where she Is. They therefore
respectfully ask that an appropriation may
be made to pay the expense Of taking care
Of her At the Erring Womsn's Home, the
same as formerly, TO date from Oot. l, 1887,
and 10 continue until Dot. ], 1888, II she
shall 30 long remain an inmate Of said in.
Your petitioners hope she will BE-
self.sustaining BY or before the time last
above usmsd. Respectfully submitted.
