DEPARTMENT OF ADJUSTMENTS
City OF New Orleans, July 19, 1870. !
Petitioner claims that the property known
as the Brazil Warehouse, on Julia street,
and situated in square No. 1914, third assess
ment district, and in which he holds a half
interest, is assessed too high for the year
1863, and asks for reduction.
l find upon examination that the building
has false front, representing twO-story
building, which is actually a one-stOry
warehouse only, and am fully convinced
that the property has been over-assessed.
The records in this office show that he
appealed to the Board of Assessors at the
proper tine for relief, and though correc-
tlOn was Tue MIN as an act OF mere justice,
his application was rejected.
recommend reduction from fifteen to
nine thousand dollars, and offer the follow
ing resolution.
Very respectfully.
