Upon motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, the following

R .1 S 0 L U T I d N
WHEREAS, it appears to the Commissioners, that Mrs'. Nettie David did
on February 12., 1937, file a personal property return under the laws of Pennsyl-
vania to the State of Pennsylvania, showing taxable personal property in the
total amount of $106,670.00; that the amount of tax thereof at 4 mills was
$426 .68; that following the calculation of this tax, a personal property return
was prepared for the County of Washington; that through inadvertence and error
the taxable personal property shown on said County return was given as $426,680.00
instead of $106 ,670.00; that based on said incorrect return she did erroneously
and inadvertently pay into the Washington County Treasury the 4 mill tax based
on the said incorrect return, in the total amount of $1622.24; that the correct
amount of said tax based on the actual and true taxable personal property should—
have been 4426 .68; that she did therefore erroneously and inadvertently pay Into
the Washington County Treasury the sum of $1216.04 under th4 assumption that
such tax was due and owing by her, when in fact such tax was not due and owing
to the County, as set forth above; and
WHEREAS, the said Nettie Davis has made affidavit..,to the above facts;
and WHEREAS, by the records as appear' on' returns in this office and the
affidavit of the said Nettie Davis, the Commissioners are satisfied that due
proof of, such erroneous and inadvertent tax paybont appears in the said amount
of $1216 .04.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that said tax be refunded to -the said
Nettie Davis and that warrant be drawn on the County Treasury in favor of said,
Nettie Davis to make refund of the said amount to which the County has no valid
claim, to be, paid out of the County funds.
