~, Sec. One ~, in Township 80,
Rye. 55, Sheridan County, which tract
contains 6.72 acres. This land is not
now or ever was the property of

quire that such assessment be low

linquent taxes against the balance of

ally acquainted with all of the above

personal knowledge that there has

that in the year 1923 this land was
assessed as having $4,000 improve
ments, and in 1925 as having $750.0C
improvements, whereas in 1926 anC
1927 it was assessed as having only
$4,000 Improvements and in 1928 as
having only $4,000 improvements.
Wherefore, affiant desiring to pay
/ 70 oil ri of
Uses included in this assessment, re
spectfully petition the Board Of
County Commissioners to have these
Improvements taxes removed for thu
years 1928, 1924 and 1925 to thu
proper amount of $4,000 and thu
taxes reduced accordingly.
