<br />The following cormuunioation from the Oity Attorney was read:
<br />
<br /> 'At yonr last meeting you referred to me a request for a refund of $53- to the
<br />George W. Mauoin Oomoany on account of payment on oersonal orooerty taxes. I find that this
<br />company was ~sesse~ wit~ machinery on the persona~ propert~ b~oks at a valuation of $22,000.
<br />It seems that an error ox $2,000. was made in the accountant's report and when the attention
<br />of the Commissioner of the Revenue was called to the error he had the court make the correc-
<br />tion in the assessment. The George W. Maupin Company had previously pa~ the tsxes under the
<br />pre-payment tax plan, and it is therefore entitled to the refund of $53.00.'
