Canada, it was developed that in sixteen
states the company paid no taxes at all;
In several other states and in Canada no
assessment Is shown; in seventeen states
the total OF the taxes paid Is only 81, 425
while in the seven remaining states the
estimated taxes CEASED on assessments
are $40 325, making the total taxes paid
outside Of Illinois $4o,75l.

ago ratio of assessment represents 81,
