to Bsrvs as arbitrator for the state and
county during the year 1902, to be at the
call Of the tax reosiver. and to allow said
arbitrator one hundred dollars for suoh
service.
Whereas, our investigation OF the tax
returns shows that the printed forms of
oath. supplied by the atate on which to
make returns, have not al ways been igned
under OATH as intended, or before an ofi =
Ger, we therefore recommend that in fu-
ture the tax receiver be more careful in
this matter
