Treasurer's books for the quarter. Judge
A. j. Harlan asked the board to refund
to him as attorney for Mary l.. Harlan
certain taxes which had been assessed
against northwest 4 section "a township
IA range % Trego County. The Judge
claimed that when the taxes were levied
the title to the land was vested in the
Government and the land therefore was
not taxable. After examining into the
matter thoroughly the board decided that
inasmuch as final receipt had been is
sued prior to March first of the year
when the land was just listed for taxation
it was taxable and must stand as such.
The Judge notified the board of his in
tention to appeal from their decision.
The matter of bank deposits came on for
hearing. At the April meeting of the
board the Trego County Bank had asked
to be made the depository for the county
funds, but the matter was laid over for
action at this July meeting. The First

filed bid for the money both banks being
willing to pay Q per cent per annum on
daily balances. After some discussion it
was voted to leave the money in the first
National Bank. They to file a new bond
to be approved by the board and to pay
2 per cent per annum on daily balances
in accordance with bid filed July 1891.
