the surplus money held by his ban he
being of the opinion that he was entitled
to an oveTcharge which he alleged has
been made in the assess ment, and again
requested the amount of overpaid taxes
refunded. The Mayor explained that
reliable legal advice had been taken,
and it was the opinion of
the city attorney, as well as
other lawyers, that the original
assessment was correct, and, in the
event OF 1t not having been paid, the
city could have enforced payment in
full of the amount assessed.
Councillor Boyle made an explanation
of the view held by Mr.. Adams. who
certainly considered himself entitled to
the Abatement in question.
Alderman Dee thought the assess
ment made was perfectly, equitable and
they should pay taxes on the money on
hand like anV individual WOuld have tn
do.
Alderman Reeve thought that, as all
other banks had been assessed on the
capital stock, the claim should be
allowed, and he embodied his idea in a
motion, which was carried.
