$4,000 is invested on Certificates Of

in the various banks of the County.

levy for the year 1913 amounted to
1922, 895.28, the taxes collected to June

further reported that the time consumed
in this work amounted to II days.

the Board a list of uncollected personal
property taxes and after due consider
alton the Board cancelled the same as
collectible. The total taxes thus can
Iscelled amounted to $113.72- OF this
amount $20.65 was from the city of New
Ulm which is certainly good showing,
as New Ulm pays close to 1-3 of the total
personal property taxes.
Upon the recommendation of the
County Auditor, the Board levied the
sum of 81, 900 upon the taxable property
of the County for the year 1914 for the
