| HARTMANS DEMURRER.
In the matter of personal assessment
OF f. Ii. Hartman, and the Hartman
Lbr., o.:-Now comes the said F. II.
Hartman and demurs to the report or
suggestion of the Assessor, j. G. Cosna-
han, seeking an increase of his assess
ment and for reasons he assigns the
| following:
1st. The report filed by the Assessor
is too vague and indefinite ON which to
base an increase and is wholly INSULT
cient in law.
md. The report was filed by the as
SCISSOR out of time and after the assess
ment roll has passed from his control.
3rd. The notice required by law has
not been given and the said Hartman
has been led to believe by the failure
to give such notice that the roll would
be approved as returned by the assess
or, except as corrected on yesterday.
4th. Other reasons to be made known
on the hearing. F. H. HARTMAN.
