In the first meeting of the board OF

opinion was submitted from Assistant

taxes were cancelled during the past
year on charitable grounds, After dis

be better TO pass only on certain cases
with which the aldermen on the com
mittee were familiar and let all other
cases OF that nature be investigated
by the poor commission.
