118 THE COMMISSION OP INQUIRY, 



Copies of Statements Received. 



Grayling, Mich., April 28, 1908. 



This is to certify that a Mr. Brown, who I understand was appraiser 

 of State tax homestead lands in townships 18 and 19 of 13-W, which 

 I was supervisor of at that time, did see and look over my Ass't roll 

 and did copy by my help my Ass't rolls as I had them, only varying to 

 a small extent, he making lower price than I had assessed at. I swear 

 this to be true. 



Witness my hand and seal. 



Wm. B. Vaughan.

Baldwin, November 21, 1907. 



I, the undersigned, do hereby swear that statements made within are 

 true. Mr. Brown, the appraiser of tax homestead lands in Lake Co., 

 came to my home and hired me to go with him to supervisor Wm. 

 Vaughn of W^eber Township, and while there the appraiser did look 

 over supervisor Vaughn's tax roll and talked with him about the values 

 he had on such lands. We drove to some of the lands and followed the 

 roads around same. I further swear that at the time this Mr. Brown, 

 the appraiser of State tax homestead lands, was here, that it was im- 

 possible to drive around to said lands on account of no roads being 

 open on account of snow. I also further swear I told another examiner 

 of State tax homestead lands of some descriptions he had missed, the 

 value I considered it worth, he taking my value of said land. This was 

 on section 13, 17-14. I suppose I also went with other examiners of 

 the State tax homestead lands to supervisors of different townships in 

 Lake county, Mich.
