Proposal to repeal state board of equalization and ten percent damages
In Indianapolis on Monday December 13 1841 a letter notes measures in the legislature. Mr Nave proposes repealing the State Board of Equalization and the ten percent damages for unpaid taxes by December 25. The reply suggests the ten percent will likely be repealed but variations in county assessments may block such repeal and a joint committee of both Houses could oversee the board.
