December 8th. igZ!.
<br />
<br /> On motion of ~r. Hutchins, the recommendation was concurred in and the relief
<br />ordered to be made.
<br /> 2nd - tAt your meeting held on November l~th, you referred .to me a co~munio~-
<br />tion from the City Collector reeuesting that certain rea! e state and personal property taxes,
<br />shown upon several lists attachgd to her letter, be relieved.
<br /> I have ex~mined very carefully the particular list of real estate here-
<br />with returned with my letter and resommend that the taxes charged thereon be relieved, ex~
<br /> w._~cn have been left on the list are erroneous,
<br />copt such as I have crossed out. The ts.xes h~ ~
<br />for several reasons. In some cases, there is no such property owned by the parties agaLust
<br />whom it was assessed, and in other cases, it was doubly assessed, the errors occurring most-.
<br />ly at the time of the t_anszer of the property and continued to be carried in the name of
<br />the former owner.. Certain other taxes were assessed against life tenants, who have since
<br />died; and the taxes no longer constitute a lien against the property. As to the taxes which
<br />I have stricken from the list, it was mostly church p~operty, which the c?s~ch should at
<br />least pay part of the year for which the taxes were assessed. In some cases, the land was
<br />left vacant fo~ several years before the property was used for church purposes. There ass
<br />also several parcels which I have stricken from the list, including H~L. Alexander, Truxton
<br />Home Company, Char. L. Wiley and others, which I have been unable, for lack~of time, to
<br />investigate. As to these parcels and another list of real estate and the list of personal
<br />t~es,'which were referred to me, I will report on at a later date.'
<br /> On motion of Mr. Stewart, the recommendation ~as concurred in and the relief
