December 1st, 1916.
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council.
Gentlemen: On Dec. 7tii, 1915,
there was sold by the city treasurer to
W. J. Ewe, for the regular taxes of
1914, the following property assessed
to J. J. Nagle, the south 25 feet of the
south 2 -5 of City Lot 437, said taxes,
interest and costs in the sum of $71.95
being paid by said W. J. Ewe. It has
just been called to my attention that
said sale was erroneous, because of
the fact that same was a double as-
sessment and that the 1914 taxes had
been paid under an assessment made
in the name of the Francis Jaeger Es-
tate. I would therefore recommend
that a warrant be drawn in favor of
W. J. Ewe in the sum of $76.26 being
the amount paid by him with inter-
est for one year at 6 per cent.
Respectfully submitted,
GEO. D. WYBRANT,
City Treasurer.
On motion of Ald. Strobel the re-
port of the city treasurer was approv-

favor of W. J. Ewe to cover the
amount.

for $15.40 be drawn in favor of Jno.
Koehler for 1915 on lot 2 of 86 Mc-

Council.
Gentlemen: I return herewith pe-
tition of Mary R. Lacy, asking that
Mineral Lot 300 and the undivided
one -half of Mineral Lots 298 and 299
be exempted from city tax. I beg to
advise that the law provides that
property used solely and in good faith
for agricultural and horticultural
purposes and that does not receive
any benefit from the city government,
as lights, sewer and fire protection is
subject only to a road tax.
I understand that the property
mentioned in this petition is a part
of Hani's Island and is used solely
and in good faith for agricultural pur-
poses and does not derive any benefit

recommend to your Honorable Body

cancelled, with the exception of the
road tax, and that the treasurer be in-
structed accordingly.
