State of Texas,
County of Tarrant.

Before me, Max K. Mayer, a Notary Public in and for Tarrant
County Texas on this day personally appeared H. Brodkey, who being by
me first duly sworn on oath says that he purchased of the Congregation
Ahavath Sholom, a religious corporation, a certain lot 50 X 100 feet
and situated in the South-West corner of Block No. 1. of Jennings South
Addition to Fort Worth Tarrant County Texas and that said lot was pur-
chased by hi, on the 9th day of April 1902 and that said deed was re-
corded on the 29th day of April 1902 in Vol. 164 on Page 467 deed records
Fort Worth Tarrant County Texas.

That he was not the owner of said property on the first of January
1902 and therefore not liable for taxes on said property for the year
1902, nor was his vendor, for that sum was exempt from taxes to said
religious corporation.
