and that no improvements existed on
said property st the time OF making the
assessment, we recommend that upon
the fling of a proper demand on the tax
1929 fund the sum OF $3.50 be re-
turned to petitioner, and it was SO or
dered.
In the matter OF petition No. 27S,
from Max Harris, asking o return to
him OF $14.17 on account OF tax sale
certificate No 1859 for the year 1s90-9l.
it appears that the property described
in said tax sale certificate No. 1859 for
the year 1S90-9l, is doubly assessed, and
that the taxes have been paid by the
owner OF the property, Mr.. A. Work
man, but that the petitioner has re-
ceived a tax deed from the city on
account of this Tax eale. The Petitioner
had filed with the city clerk deed OF
all his right, title and interest in and to
this property to Mr.. A. Workman, the
actual owner of the property, which
deed is duly acknowledged, and We re-
commend that upon the filing OF q
proper demand, the sum o. 1917 being
the amount OF money actually received
by the city on account OF this tax sale,
be returned to the petitioner, and that
the city clerk be instructed to deliver
the deed fled by Mr.. NJ. Harris TO Mr.
A. Workman. So ordered.
(s) In accordance with the terms and
provisions OF section 80 of ordinance
No. $50 (new series) the city tax and
license collector delivered to the city
council the amount of taxes and penal
ties by him collected, together with
complete delinquent list OF all persons
and property then owing taxes, and st
the same time returned the assessment
rola. Ordered filed.
The report and statement OF the city
tax and license collector, together with
the delinquent books, have been before
this committee, and we have carefully
compared the list with the original
assessment rolls, have compared and
checked all doubles and erroneous as
easements found upon the books after
having been delivered to the city tax
and license collector, and find the same
correct. Ordered filed.
The city auditor has reported to this
committee that all monies claimed aa q
credit by the city tax and license col
lector have been paid into the city
treasury.
We are satisfied that the delinquent
list contains a full, true and correct
statement of all taxes due on the first
half of said assessment rolls together
with 10 per cent thereon, and also q
full, true and correct statement of the
second half OF the taxes remaining I'M
paid.
We therefore recommend that the
said r. D. Wade, city tax and license
collector, be credited upon the books OF
the city auditor in the matter of the
collection OF the taxes for the fiscal
year 1912, with the following
amounts:
| Account OF doubles ........:.....;..$ 2.22
| Cash collected and turned into the
city treasury, as per receipts. i35 ,023. %

! lows:

The differences between the amount
OF the 5 per cent penalty as the same
appears upon the delinquent books
being 1906 As. and the amount of said
per cent figured upon the total
amount Of the delinquent second hall
1922. said difference being 1915, ia
due to the less Of fractional cents whore
the same occurs IN adding the penalty.
