ton beg leave to submit the following de-
tailed report:
Re petition OF Bartling Auto Co. we
find that a personal assessment was
levied against said company for 1910
upon which they have paid taxes and that
in addition thereto a personal assessment
was levied against +. w. Bartling at his
residence. This clearly being a double
assessment. we recommend that the lat
ter be cancelled

w 10 n. OF lot II OF =. G. IS, which has
been doubly assessed for the year 1910
and so acknowledged by the Board OF As
SCISSORS. and I'm view hereof. your commit
tee recommend that the same be cor
rected.
Re petition OF Tessmer Machine 81
Tool Co, we find that personal assess
ment OF $3.50 was levied against said
company for 1910 upon sworn statement
filed with the assessors. which sworn
statement showed assessable property to
the value OF $500 and the assessors &C
knowledging the error In transcribing,
your committee recommend a reduction
In said assessment of $1,000.
Re petition OF RogeTs-Nan Leyen CO..
we hnd that a personal assessment OF
800 was levied against said company
for the year 1910. which assessment
was erroneous because OF the fact that
said company was absorbed by the r.
& T. Advertising Service In July, 1908.
which latter company included the as
sets Of the former In Its statement
for 1910 and paid the taxes on valu-
alton or $4,000. In view thereof your
committee recommend that the taxes
on the assessment OF 500 be cancelled.
Re petition of Mrs. Hannah Goldberg,
we find that personal assessment or
$1,000 was levied against her on an
nuto and also that second assessment
OF 81 01O was levied against Mrs j.
Goldberg which is one and the same
person. Upon a thorough investlga-
ton we recommend that the $4,000 as
segsmcnt be reduced TO 81 COO

find that petitioner is the owner OF lot
139 OF J. w Johnson's sub. OF Porter
and Campru farms, situate on the W. 8.

TO have the taxes levied against said
property for 1910 cancelled on the
grounds OF charity. Upon investiRa-

the years 1908, 1909 and 1910. during
which period said property has been
used exclusively for church purposes

that the tax certificates Issued for 1908
be redeemed and that the taxes for
1909 and 1910 be cancelled.
