County Auditor T. Leroy Evans was in
Dickinson on Thursday looking up all
patented government lands in Dunn
county. It. appears that the state man
who is supposed to give the various
counties the new lands subject to taxa
ton has omitted some descriptions.
Consequently the Dunn county commits
sioners recently instructed their auditor
to come here and arrange for 9 complete
list of newly patented lands in their
county. Accordingly. Auditor Evans
secured the services of Attorney Charles
H. Starke 10 procure the list. As soon
as the same is completed it will be
checked over with the Dunn county tax
list. In this way the county will be
able to get taxes from all taxable lands.
