To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Dubuque.
Gentlemen; —
The petition of S. B. Lattner, re-
feree of the estate of Richard Waller
deceased, relative to the cancellation
of a tax upon personal property for
the year 1917 has been referred to
Regular Session, September 4th, 1919
me for report. I beg to advise you
that the only information that I have
with referrance to the same is that
this estate` was distributed during
the year 1916 and that since that
time there was no personal prop-
erty subject to taxation belonging
to the same. The City Assessor ad-
vises me that a similar situation ex-
isted in the county and that the
Borad of Supervisors ordered the tax
cancelled during the year 1917 and I
assume that their action was based
upon the fact that there was no
property subject to taxation that
year.
If the estate has been distributed
acid there was no money or personal
property subject to taxation for the
year 1917 then there can be noth-
ing for you to do other than order
the tax cancelled and in view of the
information which I can gather I be-
leive that should be done, I would,
therefore, recommend that the
Treasurer be instructed to cancel
the tax upon the personal property
for the year 1917.
Respectfully submitted,
M. H. CZIZEK
City Attorney
On motion of Ald. Leist the re-
port of the City Attorney was ap-
