<br /> ing a false alarm of fife'.

<br /> testimony in 0curt, the sailor was convicted and fined $50.00 and cost for turning in a false

<br /> Howell, Assistant Seeretar~ of the 0ity Realty 0orporation, reGUesting a refund of the taxes
<br /> paid on one-half of a lot on High St. Uoon investigating, I find that the 0ity Real~ 0orpo-
<br /> ration was assessed for the years 1931, ~932 and 1933 on property 2215,2~16 and 2218 High St.,
<br /> one half a lot more than the Oorporation o~ned. Mr. Byrd who owns a lot and one-half, number
<br /> 2204 High St., was assessed with one lot only. Mr. Byrd has paid to the Oity Realty 0orpora-
<br /> tion the amount of taxesfor the years 1931 and 1932, and has paid the Oity 0ollector the
<br /> amount of taxes owing on the half lot for the year 1933. The 0ommissioner of the Revenue has
<br /> corrected this error :for the year 1~34. This disposes of the entire matter and there is no
<br /> action to be taken by the ~i~y Oou~ci!."
