Trustee Van Arsdale called up the re-
port of the committee on taxes with re-
ference to MOlOney Bros. assessment.
! WhereupOn Trustee Smyth offered the
| following:
ResOlUed,-That an order be drawn in
favor of MOlOney Bros. as follows: $500
against the highway fund and $2l00
against the general fund, to be delivered
to them when they shall produce their
receipts showing payment of their vii
lage taxes for the yearl8S3. Adopted
To the Hon. the Council of the Village of Che
boygan
Gentlemen,-Yourc committee on taxes
to whom was referred the matter of the
claim of G.. r. Smith that he had been
enormously assessed for personal proper
ty on the village assessment roll for the
year 1888, respectfully report that we
have examined into the subject matter
of his claim, and are of the opinion that
he should have been assessed $3,50000
personal property instead of $4,000
making an excess on his tax of $ll400
1t is difficult to explain how this large
difference could have happened. Mr.
Smith claims that the matter was talked
over between himself and the assessor to
the effect that the assessment on his per-
sOnal property should be 100000. Your
committee, however, believe that vau-
tiOn of $4,000 would be fair and just. and
that the difference in the tax as above
stated, viz $114.00, should be refunded
to him. Therefore your committee re-
commend the adoption of The following
resolutions:
ResOlued,-That an order De drawn in
favor of G.. r. Smith as follows: $3.50
against the highway fund and $66.50
against the general fund, to be delivered
to him when he shall present his receipt
showing payment of his personal tax for
the year 1888.
Respectfully,
j. b. MACARTHUR,
L. T. VAN ARsDALE,
Com. on Taxes.
