ner Carnahan & Bilderbach. who are
doing the tax ferret work In Black

an alphabetical listing of all the deeds
and principal papers filed in Black

may be estimated from the fact that

compiled.
Upon the facts thus gained the tax
ferrets base their work. If a large sale
was made for cash. they look up the
mans tax list and see IL he has been
paying taxes on the full valuation of
the property. They then look after the
man who made the sale. II he does not
pay taxes upon the full amount he re-
ceived for the sale, he usually receives
a notice to please call and settle --

The work thus compiled is used as a
reference and is absolutely essential. It
