- To the Common Council OF the City OF Owos-
In regard to the sprinkllng tax of w. F.
Greepwalt on River street we have recentlv
learned that Mr., Greenwalt formerly flied a
remonstrance against sprinkling tax but for
some unknown reason this did not come TO the
attention OF the special assessors.
In the matter OF claim presented by M.
James Oliver Curwood for refund OF one
sprinkling tax on Mulberry street we find that
this street was not sprinkled. although the
special assessors when making assessment.
found q petition that had been signed by the
residents on This block. But inasmuch as Mr..
CurWood paid but one assessment on Williams
street we see no cause Tor rebate from the
last that his house is q two family fat.
