the town meeting of Apri! Bird 1894, to
provide funds for the payment OF all the
above named Judgements were rendered,
and the total amount both OF said APP
preparations and OF said judgments hay
ing been levied in the tax roll OF 1891 a
double levy was thereby made to the ex-
tent of the amount Of said judgments be-
ing $3,470O0. This should have been
prevented by action OF the town board
at the annual meeting provided by law
to be held on the first Tuesday in Deem
Der in each year. We find however that
no such meeting was held in 1894.
