On April 20, 1853 the finance COM
mittee was directed to levy tax of
two dollars and fifty cents per lot
monthly. 1t seems as if this levy broke
up the association, for here the record
abruptly ends. The treasury we find
was already sadly depleted, for the
treasurer had reported on March 30
that the balance in the treasury is ten
dollars and forty cents of which stem
dollars is uncurrent money and good
cash forty cents.

/, Here were 162 persons, more or less
prominent in the early history of
Mankato. banded together to take
proper measures for securing .s their
homes.' How some succeeded and
how some failed, is story told by the
records in the office of our register of
deeds But of those 1852 persons have
found the names of only nineteen now
in our city directory. Of the other .143
some have moved away; most are
dead. A few still linger on the stage
and are among our honored citizens.
