<br />
<br />Honorable City Oou~cil,
<br />
<br />Gentlemen:
<br />
<br /> In m~king transfers to the 1931 ls. ud boo~ of deeds recorded in the 01erk's
<br />office during the year 1930, I find that in many instences the entries on the Assessors
<br />book do not correspond'with the deedsA
<br /> I understand that the.cards made by the Assessors show just how properties
<br />have been divided. It will be necessery for me to h~ve these cards ~o make proper trans-
<br />fers on the land book&1
<br />
<br /> Respectf~!ly submitted,
<br />
<br /> John C. Niemeyer,
<br /> Oommissioner of the Revenues
<br /> On mo~ion of Mr. Stewart, s~me was referred to the City ~anager and Oity Attorney
<br />to confer wither. Niemeyer ~nd report back at the next meeting~~
<br />
