Motion of Mr. Fox to concur in the recommendation of the Oity Attorney was 2nd - ,At your last meeting you referred to me the following court orders cor- recting the assessment of taxes, upon which I beg to report as follows: (1) Order of court reducing the assessment of J~S. Lawrence uoon the Firestone Building in the sum of Fifteen Hundred($1500.O0) Dollars. It ~opeared-from the~ evidence in this case that the assessors placed a value of 416,000.00 on the buildings on this land, which included the total cost of the concrete roadway in the street end tar£~s belonging to the Firestone 0empanyo The court took off the sum of 'l 00,00 and Er $ 5 o Lawrence should be refunded the s~m of $39.~5 for taxes paid for~the year l~31 and relieved of the sum of $3~.75 on the taxes for the year 1932o (2) Order of court relieving Effie H~ Ballard of the sum of 48000.00 as- sessed on the property 504-06 High Street in the name of Annie B.

The court denied he~ petition on all but 504-06 High Street. Th~ Board of Equalization has raised the assessment upon this land from 45000.00 to 413,000.00 under the erroneous belief that the upstairs of the building was finished and divided into rooms. Upon examining the building, they admitted their mis- take to the court. Mrs. Ballard should be relieved of the sum of $212.00 for each of the years t931 and 1~32. (3) Order of court reducing the assessments of the property of Smith. The assessment of the land of Mr~ smith, described as lots y~ and ~9 S. Leckie Street, was reduced ~2,350.00. It appeared from the evidence in the case that he was charged with more high land than he actually owned at $20.00 a front foot~ The assessment of his property ~104 Elm Ave. was also reduced SyO0.O0. The members of the Board of Eq~3alization testified that the assessment was placed on the propert~ under the ~beiief that his residence contained a heating plant and the sum of 4yO0.O0 was taken off the assessment because of the fact th zt the building contained no heating plant. Mr~ Smith should be relieved of the sum of for each of the ~years l~l and 1~32 on ~0t $.
