 l notice ill the report of the grand jury recently published in the papers Of the city that the name of Al A. Hudson appears upon the delinL Luent tax list of personal property for the year 1891
 In justice to Mr. Hudson i desire to say that he called upon me during the regular time for payment of faxes for that year, saying that he could not get in to pay his taxes be cause of the crowd and asked me to attend to the matter for him, direct ing ms to use for that purpose money which had in hand to his credit It is my recollection that l paid his taxes us directed along with q lot of others. Under that impression informed Mr Hudson that his taxes had been paid and charged him up with the amount Of same and he allowed me credit for that amount in settlement with him So If Mr Huason's taxes do not appear on the tax books as paid for 1891, 1t was no fault of his and he reaped no benefit from the failure to pay, ii not paid, and lie stands charged with them on our books. am confident that 1 passed the money into the han'ls of the Sheriff and it is my impression that turned over the receipt to Mfr Hudson, but am not quite sure on this point, as it is possible the re- ceipt was lost along with a box oi valuable papers that got misplaced in moving during 1892.
