Abita Springs, La, July Is, 1914.
To the Honorable Police Jury Of the
Parish of st. Tammany::
Gentlemen:-I have been informed
by Hon. Warren Thomas that my
property in Abita Springs is at pres
ent assessed for $500. This In an
increase of $500 over last year or
any previous years, i. e., have a
20 per cent increased assessment
while at the same time the income
and actual valuation has decreased
more than Is per cent.
l have made no Improvements nor
have any been made in the neighbOr-
hood. On the contrary. am sorry
to show and prove that both valua-
ton and income have decreased.
It is my belief that the present as
sessment Of $4,000 Is the result of
an error or oversight. therefore
ask you to change the said $25Oe
assessment to $4,000.
Thanking you in advance for an
earnest cooperation and just de-
cision, / beg to remain,
Respectfully yours.
