ERROR IN AFFIDAVIT.
Cancellation of an Assessment-Num-
Der of Recommendation Made.

Messrs. Ralston & Siddons recently
made application to the District COM
missioners in behalf of Mr.. Edward NJ.
Dulin. for the cancellation of the tax
sale of April. 1900, of part OF lot 10,
square So Georgetown, on the ground
that the sale was invalid because the
tax had been paid. The matter was re-
ferred to the Assessor. II. Fl. Darneille.
and he reported as follows with refer
ence to the record and facts of the sale:
"It transpires that there was an in
advertent error in the affidavit of Mr..
E. NJ. Dulin, upon which the foregoing
Endorsement was based. 1t now appear
ing that the second one-half tax for
1899 on the north half of lot 10, square
So. was paid by William A. Brown, the
present owner; he having presented his
receipt for the same at this office.
I'm view of these facts, l have the
honor to recommend:
First. that the cancellation of the
sale OF south half of lot 10. square 50.
be allowed to stand
Second. that that portion of the or
der of the Commissioners, dated July H..
1902, transferring the payment of the
second half of tax for 1899 on
north half of lot 10 to south half Of
lot TO- square So. be rescinded.
Third. that that portion OF the afore-
said order of the Commissioners au-
thorizing the acceptance without penal
ty and interest of the second half Of
tax for 1899 against north half of lot
10. square S5, be changed SO as to au-
thortze the acceptance of said tax with
out penalty and interest against south
half of lot 10. square S5.''

partment arrived the structure was
blazing from top 10 bottom.
THE water tower was placed in serv-

Laws Respected.
