ises there appears to be a building
on the east half of said lots be
| longing to the said Peter DesSaint
Estate, and a building on the west
half of said lots belonging to said

value.
f. That in January 1911 said JO-
seph Exner paid taxes on all of lots
Z and 8, block % aforesaid, amount
ing to $2279 for the taxes OF 1910.

$22.SS for the taxes Of 1911. The De-
Saint Estate paid no taxes for 1911.
on any part of said lots, as appears

respective owners

half thereof for each year towit:
The sum of 22.S1, and that said sum

deformity of tbs same leg. This de-
form1ty and shortening In my opi2tOn
is a permanent di stability.
The result Is not, nor vas not the
result OF poor or inefficient treatmSp
