<br /> 2nd - ,In accepting collections in the Oity Ocllector's office this week, a coun-
<br />terfeit Federal Reserve note, series B-27723~86-A, amount $10.00, was received. This counter-
<br />feit note has been given to one of the local banks to be turned over to the Federal authori-
<br />ties.
<br /> I examined this note and am o~ the opinion that no one but an expert could
<br />tell that it was a counterfeit note; in view of which I r~quest a special appropriation to
<br />reimburse the Oollecto~ s office for the amount o~ the counterfeit note."

<br /> Motion of Mr. Hutchins to appropriate Ten Dollars to reimburse the City Collector,
<br /> was adopted.
<br />
<br /> 3rd - "The City 0ollector advises that the following refunds are due, unde~ the
<br />. prepayment tax plan for 1933, on account of these individuals and companies having overpaid
<br /> their taxes. These overpayments were due principally to reductions made in assessments by
<br /> the State Go=potation Oommiss ion and reduction in tax rate on machinery. As these taxes have
<br /> bee~ overpaid in the amounts shown, I recommend that refund be made on or before December 1st.
