town 3S, west, along section line 2o
and 20, to the Duncan City road, so call
ed. most respectfully report that they ex-
amined the same, and recommend that
the committee be authorized to negotiate
land necessary, or to take such action
as is needed to obtain possession of the
property required for street purposes.
Your committee would further recon-
mend that the Committee on Street
Openings be authorized to enter into ar
rangements with the Highway Commits

the road along the section line between
the village and the town of Benton may
be improved for the use of the public.

To the Hon, the Council of the Village of Che
bOygan
'Gentlemen: Your Committee on Taxes
to whom was referred the petition of j.
f. MOlOney & Bros, asking for rebate
in the amount OF their village tax, for
reasons stated i'm their petition, beg
leave to report upon examination and
investigation we find the facts to be sub
stantially as stated in their petition,
viz: that they were assessed by the
Supervisor of the township on their brew
cry property the sum of $4,000, and that
the Village Assessor probably made a
mistake in the amount which he intend
ed to assess such property and did assess
the property at $4,000, when, we think, he
intended to have assessed it $4,000. But
your committee do not find that the as
sessment or valuation is too large, but on
the contrary, are of the opinion that the
valuation as it appears on the roll, to-
wit: $1,000, is in fact low valuation
for the property, and that there is no
just ground of complaint on account of
such valuation.
Respectfully submitted.
