<br /> Property has not been under lease to it. This can be done, of course, by prorating the taxes
<br /> and charging against the Warehouse Company the same for the taxable period to June 25th, and
<br /> having the 0ity assume the balance.
<br /> The lease from the 0ity to the Warehouse Company did not contain a provision fog the
<br />Payment of the taxes ~
<br />0ouncil for a rebate upon the street ends by the Oompany~ and it intends to petition yoUr-
<br /> in the taxes heretofore paid upon the street ends for the past fly
<br />years but thought it best only, at this time, to ask for the rebate since June 25th. ~

<br /> Respectfully submitted,

<br />the oommunicatio~ was referred to Finance ~ommittee.
<br />
<br /> Brocks,~the following communica~io~was referred to Finance Committee:
<br />
<br /> ~Atlanta, Ga., November 23rd, 1925.
<br />
<br /> _Ou~. Real Estate Agent in Norfolk advised me on J~ne 26th, 192~, of the sale to
<br />the City of ~or~smouth, by deed dated November 20th, 1923, of lot at the corner of Race and
<br />Green streets. He advised further that, instead of m~king a cash adjustment for taxes paid,
<br />General Jervey suggested that the Seaboard ded~Act from the year's bill the amount of Oity
<br />and State taxes on this lot for the seven months period. However, at the time of paying
<br />taxes to the 0ity of Portsmouth for the year 1924, this was overlooked, and we paid taxes
<br />for the entire yes~r on ~his property, and to the State as well. This lot~w~s assessed at
<br />2,~31, and the amount of taxes paid thereon t6 the 0ity of Portsmouth for year 192~ was
<br /> 59-~5. The 0it~ of Portsmouth should have paid seve~-twelfths (?/12) of this amomnt, or
<br />34.68, and I sh~ll be glad if you will let me have check for that amount at the earliest
<br />convenient date. The matter of rel~And of State taxes will be handled with the tt~te authorities
<br />in Richmond.
<br />
<br /> In July, 1925, I handled this ~atter with Mr. ~nrahan. On ~cteber 29th he
<br />advised me that Mr. Brinson would handle it. On November 20th, Mr. Brinson advised me that
<br />the m~tter must be handled wi~.. the Oity Council.
<br />
<br />Yours truly,
<br />
<br />W. L. STANLEY,
<br />
<br />On motion,
<br />
<br />Vice-President.
<br />adjourned.
