Owosso, Mich, Deco mber s. 1904
To The Honorable May or and Common
Council:
GeIts:--I was sorry to notice by the pro-
ceedings of your last meeting that my &C.
That this account is legal and just will not
o1iy refer y on tn the fact that Mr.. Post did
not pay for similar walk but that others in
the same block were paid a pehate on account
of such taxes. This think VIII appear differ
emit to you than the false report of Alderman
opas. In the council proct edings of Dec l,
1912, you will find the report Of Mr.: Laverock
who was appointed TO investigate the claim of
A l. Williams for rebate on su h taxes on LOB
q in the same block my lots are situated.
That such claim was paid Mr.. Williams you
will find on stub dated Jan. s. l903 of order
book In poss ession Of city clerk. Ifinvestigat.
ed you will find others to whom a rebate has
been paid on walks laid in a similar way.
Now let us see what labor Mr.. Post done to
pay for his walk. He filled on his own lot in
order that walk could be received. My lots
did not need any filing on this line as there
had already been plank walk laid. Now
where is Mr.. Post entitled to walk free of
charge any more than sm.
hope my explanation will prove satisfac-
tory and that this bill will be paid without
further trouble.
Respectfully Yours,
JOHN KIEFER.
