Board in session pursuant to adjourn
ment.
Present: All members of the board
and county auditor.
BY investigating the matter presented
by the school board Of Buffalo Gap,
relative to the taxes of school lot SO,
block 13, for the year 1887 and 1883, for
a refund order to the amount Of 1926.
we find the following facts: That said
taxes, namely SI9.75 for the year 1887,
and $500, reported to have been collect
ed for 1883, but was in reality for 1886,
all were levied on said lot before
the same became the property of the
school board or district. In 1885 IL was
assessed to Lane & Shaw, in 1887 to
William Shaw. Further, 1t appears from
a letter now on file with the auditor.
from r. Whitney, agent for the Town
site Company, that the school board Of
said district entered into an arrange
ment to pay the back taxes on said lot
when they purchased the same. There
for, the board refuses to refund the
money for said taxes, and the auditor il
instructed to notify said school board.
