An OPINION WANTED
ON The TAX QUESTION
Payment of Costs When the
Property is Not Advertised

The District Commissioners today re
Iarred two tax questions 10 the City So
licitor for his opinion. One OF them is
the request Of Mr.. J. H. Fague, who ap-
piled for the abatement OF interest on
general tax for 1885 against property il
the name Of John Van Riswiek The
claim for relief was on the ground that
the property was not duly advertised in
/ September, 1885, the date OF the sale OF
delinquent taxes for that year
Acting Assessor Mr.. E. W ". Griffin
( has reported that the records OF the sale
verify the statements contained in MT.
Fague's letter, and adds:
1T is questionable whether the fail
Ure on the part Of the Office to meet the
requirements OF law, which states that
all taxes shall be advertised, would
operate TO abate the cost aceruing sub
sequent to the date when the property
should have been so advertised, and the
matter is therefore submitted without
recommendation for the consideration OF
the Commissioners.
The other case was an application by
Mr. r SnOWdeu Hill that a tract Of
1888 acres of property on the Hare
wood Road, assessed in the name Of
Conway Robinson, jr., be assessed as
agricultural land II appears the tract
was subdivided March ,. 1888, into lots,
blocks. and sheets, and designated as
"CleTmont. There was q condition to
the subdivision to the effect that II the
property were sold under the trust then
resting upon i, il should revert to its
! original condition as unsUbdiyided or
/ agricultural land. By deed dated July
/ Is, 1901, the portion Of the subdivision
/ embraced in the tract OF twenty-five
! acres was sold under the trust cited.
1T would appear consistent with the
/ facts in this case" says the Acting AS
/ SCISSOR, that so much Of the subdivision
/ Of CIermout as is included within the
/ limits of the trust. being Z5.S3 acres
! be annuIled and the property restored
/ TO its original status as unsubdiyided
/ OF agricultural land, and that the sur
veyor be directed 10 adjust his records
accordingly, which is so recommended. -
Commissioner Ross suggested 1t would
be wise 70 ascertain the opinion Of the
City Solicitor before the Commissioners
act in either case
