KIES, City Assessor. that the prayer against the above mentioned Lot 9, for the 1919 Tax, is $3,090.000, should of have been carried for a valuation of $910.00, and this $3,090.00 valua- tion, as carried against Lot 9, for the 1919 Tax, should be carried against the South 1 /2 of South 3 /4 of Lot 16P in L. H. Lanugworthy's Add. instead of the $1,270.00 valuation, which lot is assessed to John W. and Peter E. Spahn, for the 1919 Tax. Resptecfully submitted. PETER J. KIES, City Assessor.

Gentlemen: Your City Assessor to whom was referred the petition of Rosa Keck, relative to an erroneous assessment on Lot 2 of Sub. 1 of 1 of 7 of Min- eral Lot 159, for the years 1914, 1915, 1916, 1917, 1918, would respect- fully report that I find that a valua- tion of $550.00 was placed on the above mentioned Lot in 1914, when a revaluation of all City Property was made, and find that the above mentioned $550.00 valuation has been carried for the above mentioned years since 1914. I also find that the above mentioned lot was reduced from $550.00 to $50.00 by the Board of Equalization for the 1919 Tax. The Board went out and viewed the grounds last fall on this Lot, and found that the above mentioned piece of ground is a small strip of ground in the rear of Lot 2 of Sub. 26 O'Niell's Sub., which has a build- ing on, and which house and lot is carried for a valuation of $1,150.00, so the $550.00 valuation placed on the above mentioned Lot 2 Sub. 1 of 1 of 7 of Min. Lot 159, by the Somers System in 1914, I would say that the above mentioned Mrs. Rosa Keck, was over assessed on the above men- tioned Lot 2 of Sub. 1 of 1 of 7 of Min.
