<br />re£uuded the sumof $p.90~ ~s~ ~s~ea' for.
<br /> (3) 0r~er of court relieving the following taxes assessed on lots 25 and
<br />26 in Block 35 on the plat of Prentis Park:
<br />
<br />1922 in the name of W.P. Ricks and Eartha B. Ricks .......... $ 60.00

<br />!92~ in the name of Martha B. Ricks ........................ 84.00
<br />1925 in the name of Martha B. Ricks ................... 90.00
<br />
<br /> 294.00
<br /> These taxes were ~ssessed against a building upon the.said land, which building
<br /> never existed, and, therefore, the taxes should be relieved.~
<br />
<br /> Motion of Mr. Hutchins that Item No. I be concurred ~was adopted. Motion of Mr.
<br /> Ogg that Item No. 2 be concurred in and that an appropriation of $5.00 be made for said re-
<br /> fund, ~was-adopted.
<br /> Motion of Mr. Ogg.that Item No. 3 be concurred in was adopted.
<br />
<br /> 3rd - "At your last meeting you referred to me the bill of WJ R. Ashburn, Exami-
<br />ner of Records for the 28th Judicial Circuit, amounting to $63.50. Under the .law, ~. Ash-
<br />burn is required to r eoort to the Commissioner of Re~-~,,~ ~ ~ .....
<br /> - ~-~ ~ ~u~ own~ oy residents of
<br />residingthe city in°ff thefiVec~ty~gr°ss tons. and over and all tangible personal oroperty_ held by fiduoiaries
<br />For the year 1932 he has reported boats of an assessed value of $10,800~:00
<br />and~the, tangible personal_ pFoperty Of an assessed value of
<br />awe items amounting to $11.~O and $5.00 are correct. $I153.00. His bills for these
<br /> Ir_ 1931 he reported boa~s cf an assessed value of $22,100.00, including
<br />in Ihs assessment nine boats on which the City Collector had been unable to collect the
<br />taxes; Several of the boai~ had changed hands and others could not be located, the aggre-
<br />gate assessed value of these boats being $8600.00. I think that this bill should be paid
<br />in the same manner that the City Clerk and Auditor has paid the bills of the Commissioner
<br />of ~evenue and an appropriation of $22.10 for reporting boats for i931 should be made im
<br />order that he might-get the matte~ straight.
<br /> As to his bill ox $25.00 for reporting personal property for the years
<br />19~y, 1928, 1929, 1930 and l~31,, the same is correct, if it has never been paid. There-
<br />fore, I think that the sum o~ $~3.50 should be appropriated, subject to the City ~lerk
<br />and Auditor making the proper calculations.,
<br />
<br /> Motion of Mr. Brooks tb appropriate $63.~0 to pay said bills after approval of
<br /> City Audito~ as to correctness of same, w~s adopted.
<br />
<br /> 4th - ~t your meeting held on August 23, 1932, you referred to me a letter ~rom
<br /> ~iss Edna E. Hut'cheson, 0ity Collector, requesting relief of the
<br /> ollowzng taxes:
<br /> (1) Tax assessed against F.M. Wilder and J.H. Sykes amounting to $10.60
<br />on a $400.00 value on property assessed on the north side of North Street. ~nile this ap-
<br />pears to be a duplicate amount, there beir~ two assessments of $400,'00 on property on the
<br />north side of North Street made by the assessors in 1930, yet, one of the items, according
<br />to the assessment pla~, should have been designated as the south side of Holladay Street.
<br />AS this was a mistake in the Land Book, it is possible that Messrs. Wilder and Sykes may be
<br />prevailed upon to pay the tax. I have taken the matter up with the Oommissioner of Revenue
<br />and asked him to m~ke the correction-on the nex~ year's Land Book.
<br />value of $2500.00(2) Taxes m
<br /> a o~nt~ng.to $66.25 assesse~ against Ess~e B. Kirn 9n
<br /> o~ parts of lots l~, 17 and 18 in Block 17, First Avenue. Th~s a building
<br /> assessment
<br />was placed upon the~ property by the Board of Equalization under the. belief that the build-
<br />ing was on the land: on the first day of January, 1931. According to the records in the of-
<br />lice off the Building Inspector, the building was not begun until the latter part of January
<br />and was completed in March. This information was also given te me by the Commissioner cf
<br />Revenue. The building should not have been assessed for taxes for 1931 and the property
<br />should be relieved of the taxes of $66.25?
<br />
<br /> Notion of Mr. Brooks that Item No. I be conOurred in was adopted. Motion o£ Mr.
<br />Fox that Item No. 2 be concurred in was-adopted.
<br />
<br />and read: The following ordinance, placed on its first reading September 13th, was t~ken up
<br />
<br /> "An Ordinance to Amend and Re-Ordain Section 4 of an ordinance entitled ~An' Or-
<br /> dinance r~gulating the construction and installation of oil burning eouipment
<br /> for domestis use s~d the storage and use of oil fuel used therein, ad&prod by
<br /> the City Oounoil, September 8th, 1~25.,~.
<br />
