Description

Long, thin hardcover ledger of sales tax on lots during the years of 1847-1858. Sort of like a platbook. It has descriptions of the lots, whether it was sold or not, tax costs per year and lot, etc. The book itself is a marble green, blue, and red cover with a red taped spine. The pages are blank, but for red ink lines that make columns. The book is worn and the front cover especially has some of the marble paper torn off or worn away. The red tape on the spine is worn but it is intact and seems free of insect damage. Brown stains dot the covers and in general the book and pages are discolored, but legible.
