pointed the following named persons

tion Of fproperly acknowledged vouchers
the bills and expenses will be audited

Whereas, it appearing from the tax
list for the year 1908, the Lennox

mill in Lennox, S. D., and for several
years previous the same property was
assessed for $1,000 and also for the year
1904 the same property was assessed
for 81, 200,
Therefore, the Board deeming the
said assessment for the year 1908 too
high and not in proportion with
other property in the same locality,
Therefore, on motion, it was voted
that the said assessment of 1908 be
reduced from $4,000 to $1,000 and the
auditor is hereby instructed to correct
the tax list accordingly.
