After the reading and adop-
ton of the minutes the following
proceedings were had:
Messrs. T. w. Hardy and Jo-
seph Donoghue were before the
council and asked that the plant
known as the underwear plant
owned by private individuals
and not now in operation as a
manufacturing plant be exempt
from taxation for the fiscal year
1909 and 1910, and on motion
duly seconded the request was
not granted.
Col. w. C. Richards, president
of the Columbus Machine &
Foundry Co., was before the
council in the matter of taxes
assessed against this company,
claiming that under their exemp-
ton if they were due any amount
account of taxes that same was
only for a part and not for
year and too presented figures
that from his standpoint would
show on their face that instead
of the plant being worth $4,000,
the amount paid for same that in
reality the value of the plant
was around SIS, 900, and there
fore claimed that if assessed for
any taxes the amount they were
assessed for according to the
marshal's books was entirely too
much. Upon motion duly Sec
onded the entire matter was re-
ferred to the mayor, finance
committee and city attorney. for
investigation and adjustment as
