deal will not be technically completed
until such contract has been APP
proved by both the company and the
supervisors and satisfactory arrange
ments have been made with the bond
ing house to finance the deal.
Four objections were entered to
the assessment under the benefit
commissioners report. The objec-
tors are Robert Iange, James Carney,
the McCannon estate and James G..
Brewster. The first named two pro-
test test that that certain parts OF their farms
were previously amply protected by
the old township levee system, and
claim that such protected land should
not be taxed as much, as other land OF
the district. The McCannon petition
states that the grounds value is not
commensurate with the assessment.
