R. in all the different fund^s was allowed Collection—And the errors in assess-ment, was allowed in the Insolvency Tax Remitted I do not understand nor does the Treasurer—unless it be on lands forfeited to the state; There is no discrepancy, here, as between the Collector & the Treasurer,—The state Board, raised the personal 5 per cent, but Land, it did not disturb—I cant see how the amt of the auditor in the aggregate is about $3.000 less than the statement of the Treasurer, unless the land was also affected by the Board
