Whereas it appears to the satisfac-
ton of this board that the assessment
of Merchants & Farmers Bank of Cav.
alier for the year 1909 is excessive and
unjust by reason of the failure to de-
duct certain real estate owned by said
bank, namely, seq Sec. - Twp. ISL
Range SIS, and
Whereas, it appears that the assess.
ment of said bank should in justice
and equity, by reason thereof, be re-
duced $4,000, and whereas, said bank
in due time, made application for re-
bate and offered to pay taxes on just
assessment.
|, Therefore, be it resolved that the
assessment of the shares of stock of
said bank be reduced in the sum of
$4,000, and the county auditor and
county treasurer be authorized to &C
cept the taxes on the remaining por-
ton of the assessment of said property
without interest or penalty, provided
such taxes be paid within ten days of
the passing of this resolution.
