They're taxes. > 3. what would cause George to have had so many levies against him? There's no reason for taxes, they just are. Also, not all of them are HIS taxes; in at least one, his land is simply a landmark. Nor would I be awfully surprised to find these are all a single suit (I mean, if Malone et al had to sue him to get paid, why on earth would they extend him credit a 2nd or 3rd time?). > 4. what is the meaning of -----"for use of James BLACK"? Unless Ga. laws are very different (but I don't think they are), it means James will get the benefit of the money. OTOH, I could be wrong all 'round. Cheryl singhals <singhals@erols.com>
