Proceedings Of the Board Of
Supervisors

, and granted by motion duty made
seconded and unanimously carried:
"To the Honorable Board Of Super
visors, Imperial County, Califor-
/ mia.
"F. E. Humphreys, the petitioner
herein, hereby requests the cancella-
ton of the assessment on lots 9 and
10, in Block 6, HoItvile. for the year
1911-12, for the following reasons:
That the property was assessed to ".
T. Benjamin, when as matter OF
fact, the said Benjamin had no inter
est whatever in the property at that
time. (See Vol. 4, at Page 2, Assess
ment No. 1905, Tax Roll Of Imperial
County for the year above mentioned)
! The taxes upon this property have
been paid in full. During the same
year. said w. T. Benjamin gave in the
above described real estate as secur-
: ity for the taxes on his unsecured per-
sonal property, but said assessment
does not appear in connection with
the assessment on the real estate, but
does appear in Volume Z, Page 21
Assessment No. $3.50. for the same
year. This assessment as to the per-
sonal property is evidently an error
and said F. E. Humphreys. who was
at all times mentioned in this petition,
and now is the owner of said prop
erty, desires to get a certificate of
title. but the company writing this
certificate refuses to show the prop
erty clear of the 1911-12 taxes be-
cause of the reasons above set forth.
Wherefore, your petitioner re-
spectfully pravs that an order can
ceiling the delinquent taxes upon the
above described personal property be
passed. by your Board, and the Au-
ditor directed in accordance herewith
to clear the records of same.
