By Commissioner Hogan:
Whereas, the state of Minnesota.

Whereas, said Duluth Marine Sup

plant has been submitted by the said
Duluth Marine Supply company, that
said taxes assessed against said COM
pany on May LIST, 1929 and May list,
1880, are based upon excessive as
sessed valuations at said time, which
should be corrected, and the trustee
for said Duluth Marine Supply COM
pany has represented to the city as

$2,600.00 in settlement of said per-

property taxes and SSS.2S as money
