We. your committee ON complaints
In regard to the complaint Of the Tele-
gram Company beg leave to submit
the following report In his COM
plant Mr.. Howard asserts that the
assessment Of the Telegram company's
property Is too high in comparison
with any and all other property In the
city Of Columbus: your committee de-
| MES the correctness Of this assertion
As we do not think that the property
| Of the Telegram Company Is listed
higher than the average Of the prop
| erty in the City OF Columbus, and
| for this reason your committee would
| recommend that the prayer Of the Tele-
gram Company be denied.
