June 14th. 19~2. - the Givil Gourt has-so much work that she should not be able to have time to issue an exe- cution which can take only-five or ten minutes, at the most, of her' time. In my opinion she wishes to act contrary to the desires of the ~blic or in other words wants to have her own way about' conducting that office And in view of the fact that she is a public servant it must therefore claes her in a position to be publicly criti- cized without any resentment on her part. Miss-Johnson, the present 01erk, resented my ac- tion several months ago when the matter was refered to ~udge Guthriell. If my case was the only one in which this occurred, of course, it would then be a personal matter, but there are others vitally, interested in the same respect and I res- pectiully ask that you take some action in .this. matter so that when executions or Abstracts of judgments o~ other, papers are requested ~hat we will not have to wait from three days to a week to get it. I will ~hAnk you kindly fo~ your. advice. ,i and on. motion of Mr. ~gg~ was referred to the C~ty Manager for investigation and repo~t. The following letter from the Colony Theatre was read: ,Eindly be advised that the above theatre paid $351.OO city license for the com- ing year. At that time the theatre was charging an admission of twenty five cents. To be exact we charged the twenty five cent admission for exactly fifteen days and found that it was impossible for us to charge the twenty, five cent price. At this writing we can definitely .... ~-~o~-~ ~,~ ~ the entire vear ~t fifteen cents. Inasmuch as the oi~y ~ .................. *- ~ · - - '-" ~"~ ~ returned to ~he the city $351.OO we would certa~ly appreomate the ~oun~ ove~ama above theatre. May we further state at this w=it~g that all other Sheatres in this city paid but the $201.OO.~ Tt~A~:ing you for yo~ co~teous attention to the a~ve matter, ~ are." and on motion ~s referred to the City Attorney. The following letter was read: "I hereby re,uest that your body relieve me o.f one-half the $5,000:00 assess- m. ent placed a~ainst the b~ildin~s at the rear of 314--22 King Stree. t; half of said property (that known a~ the Rialto Theatre) hs~ving been destroyed by fire ~n the summer of 1931. Respectfully submitted for your action. Mary ~V. H~tton. Nay I s sk if I am not entitled to a refund for 1931 taxes paid on this pro- perty, As the fire occurred on April 3Oth, or Nay 1st, 1931, and it would seem that I should have been relieved from this assessment for the last six months of the year 1931." and on motion of Mr. Ogg was referred to the City Attorney. ~ Order of Oourt relieving Robert B.
