provisions of section 80, Of ordinance
license collector delivered to the city
council statement of the amount of |
taxes and penalties by him collected,
together with complete delinquent list
of all persons and property then owing
the assessment rolls.
The report and statement of the city
tax and license collector. together with.
the delinquent books, have been before
this committee. and we have carefully
compared the list with the original as
sessment rolls; have compared and
checked all doubles, erroneous ASSESS
lments, and corrections which have been
made by the city assessor, with the con-
sent of the city sttorney, upon the
books after having been delivered to
the city tax and license collector,
and found the same correct; the
city auditor has reported that all the
moneys claimed az q credit by the tax
collector have been paid into the city
treasury. We find the footings Of the
delinquent list, as made by the tax col
lector, to be substantially correct, his
footings being $16, ,921. 56, and ours $751;
925, q difference in favor of the tax col
lector Of IS "A; and with the correction
as above stated, we are satisfied that the
delinquent list contains full and true
statement of all taxes due on the first
half of said assessment rolls, together
with 10 per cent thereon, and also full
and true statement of the second half OF
the taxes remaining unpaid. We there
fore recommend that the eaid Len j.
