IMPORTANT TQ TAX-MI11, 
t 
To supply a want Uong felt, the undersigned have established in St. Louis a Tax Bureau, for the 
purpose of 
Erroneous ^Assessments and ^ayment of ^axes, 
Fpr parties in city or aU a distance, and attending to, and furnishing information upon, all other business 
appertaining to the 'As^^or’s Office, and the collection of Revenue in the City of St. Louis. 
There are now over 50,000 tax-payers in the City of St. Louis, and, out of that number, at least 
10,000 V are erroneously assessed, and compelled to pay more than their just share of taxation. This 
arises often from carelessness,»or want of knowledge of the law and details of the Assessor’s Office; to 
obviate Ihis evil, and relieve ythe tax-payer from this burthen, the St. Louis Tax Bureau has been 
established. 
The management,; and ^associates, have been connected with the Assessor’s Office for the past ten 
years, both as District Assessors and Clerks, which necessarily gives them an active working acquaintance 
with all the intricate points and details connected with tax assessments and revenues, and hence all persons 
having any business with the Assessor, will save both time and money by consulting with this office. 
Special attention will be given to the Board of Appeals, which meets in March, 1878, for the purpose 
of adjusting and equalizing assessments on an equitable basis. 
The St. Louis Tax Bureau respectfully solicits a favorable consideration from the tax-payers of 
St. Louis, with the assurance that all business entrusted will be promptly and faithfully attended to, and 
that in every case charges will be moderate.
