<br />Howell, Assistant Secretar~ of the City Realty Corporation, re~esting a refund of the taxes
<br />paid on one-half of a lot on High St. Upon investigating, I find that the City Real~ Corpo-
<br />ration was assessed for the years 1931, 1932 ~nd 1933 on property 221~,2~16 and 2218 High
<br />one half ~ lot more than the Oorporation owed. Mr. Byrd who owns a lot and one-h~If, number
<br />2204High St., was assessed with one lot only. Mr. Byrd has paid to the Oity Realty Corpora--
<br />tion the amount of taxesfo~ the years 1931 ~ud 1932, and has paid the City Collector the
<br />amount of taxes owing on the half lot for the yea~ 1933. The Oommissioner of the Revenue has
