A good iGea of the money
saved may be obtained from the
fact that assuming all the 300

amount to thousands of dollors.
MIR. Gandolfo advises those
property owners who can not re-
call whether or. not they filed, to
Sc if they have the slip, marked
l949, that is given to each per-
son who files an application. If
the slip can not be found, It
would be wise for each resident
to call at the assessors office.

not paid their personal and in
