each.
Lots 13 and 14, Block 63. O.T. we4e assessed for year 1926 at $1060.00 and it ap-

said year against the Barhart Motor Company be cancelled.
It appears that Lot 18, Block 20, Overton Addition was assessed for year 1924
L
with a house value and it has been shown that said lot had no house at that time,
neither does it have a house at this time, and it is ordered that the tax be credited to
the amount of $20.25.
