The land at the corner, fronting eighty (80) feet on Sixth StJ ha~ been assessed to F.H. Baudail Estate sin~e 1921, w~aile Mry Bendsll hever owned the I~d. The adjoinimg lot, listed as £ronting eighty (80) ~fe~t on Sixth 8to,~ is assessed to Ben,amis J. P~ud~n, Jr., while ~e owned only forty or fo. rty-t~o (4~) feet. ~Cqiartes ~. Welton owne~ th~ land assessed ~o P~uden. ~rs. M~mie Welton, the widow of Charles R. Welton, is umwilling to pay the interest mud pen- s/ties on the erroneous assessment. She will however pay $150.00 which is more than ample to pay principal of the Bemdall taxes since 1934, and will leave $24.10 to apply ~o the principal of the taxes on the adjoining forty (~0) feet of laud. The owner of the adjoining lot is willing to pay the tam~s, with interest ~nd penalties, on ors half of the land value for the years 1934 to 1954. Tb~s will necessitate the City Collector being relieved of collecting $40.95 on the principal of the taxes for the above years. Taxes prior to 1934 cannot be collected and I u-~derstand have been relieved . I recommend that the offers made by the ewaers be accepted in full of the ~ax~s on the above land~ an~ thai the City Collector be re~ieved of collecting the balance of the taxes as- sessed against the two parcels."
