WHAT'S IN A NAME 2

Editor Tribune Which is correct,
Twins Addition or Irving's Addition ?
In the tax levy for the water works ex-
tension, the name is given TWINS 5"
Addition which we very much doubt as
being correct. Are the two names the
same p? If not, is this tax levy legal
tax levy? Is there such an addition in
the city as Twins? The writer called
the attention of a former city clerk to
this error and he called attention to the
face that the name is spelled this way
in late city map.
We are aware there are some allow
ances in law for clerical errors, but can
this be classed as clerical errors, when
the city furnishes a map for the guild
ance of the city clerk ? Which is wrong :?
Is there such an Addition in the city
as "Irwin's?" Old maps give the name
as Irving and it is recorded as Irving's S.
The tax roll was made one year as
Irwin's. Was tax paid that year in
Irwin's Addition?
