Receipts for land tax payments made by Don McFadden to the Rural Municipality of Daly. With the exception of 1955 (which appears to have been filled out on the wrong form), all receipts include a standard yellow paper containing identifying information for McFadden and for the land being taxed, as well as the amount paid, which ranges between $262.74 - $2751.22, and the date of issue, which also varies from year to year. Additional pages and documents are attached to many of the receipts and include breakdowns of the tax amounts and land assessments, as well as carbon copies. Two plots of land are indicated from the beginning (1949), a third plot is added in 1961, resulting in two receipts for that year, and another three plots are added in 1973 to a total of six. Included is an empty envelope with BMO Insurance letterhead that has apparently been used as a divider with "Land Taxes" handwritten in black marker.
