A refund of sl.OO dog tax was
granted to O. H Heft, he having filed
an affid avit that he was not the owner
or keeper OF dog.
Whereas, there is a large list of
personal ia axes uncollected for years
previous to 1900 and whereas the same
Is uncollectable and it would be expen-
sive and usless to try to enforce the
collection of the same for the reason
that the persons owing said taxes
have left the state or have no property
subject to levy or have died.
Therefore be 1t resolved, that delin-
quent taxes for all years prior to the
year 1900 be abated and so marked on
the tax books.
Whereas it appears that the West
of the S. W. of section II township
