A report dated -march 18, 1936, was received from Assessor
Smith, in which he stated that an examination of the record of tax
arrears made by him disclosed the fact that tames for the years 1910,
1911, 1913, 1914-15 and 1915-16 totaling $29.66 for each lot were
wrongfully charged against prop ert7 known as Section 1, Block 25, Lot 5
and Notion 1, Kock 25, Lot 6 . He said that these taxes should have
been charled against old Lots Yos. 35 and 36, Map of Chatsworth, instead
of against Lots As. 35 and 36, lay of Chatsworth Heights, as they appear
on the records. Since most of old Lots Yos . 35 and 36, Map of Chatsworth,
