Zn regard to the above petition to abate real estate

taxe� payable in 1972; �hat th� State Qf Minnesota filed a

be ad�ded to �he award, and if not so paid, a'hall

It i� not possible to t�l]. from the applieation tl�e date on
which the State of 7Niinne�ota was entitled by law to take actual
possession. Pl�ase inform me what date posse��sion of the sub�e�t
property wa� taken 'by the 5tate. �
