<br />Gentlemen:-
<br />
<br /> In re_gard to the communica~ionTrom the Oity Oollector asking that Mrs. J. A.
<br />Wilson be refunded$~' on-personal property taxes .for 1~2~, I find that Mrs. ~ilson was
<br />assessed with household furniture at avalueof $?0, whichthe Oommissioner of the Revenue
<br />certified to the Oity Oollector wa~ in error. It seems that M_rs. Wilson boards with her
<br />mother and has no furniture. Mrs. Wilson paid the taxes along with the taxes on an aSjtomo-
<br />bile amd she is now seeking to recover the same. It appears that she is entitled to the
<br />re~/md.
