Ocala, Fla, July II, 1919.
Honorable City Council, Ocala:
Gentlemen: Your special committee
to whom was referred the recommen-
dations contained in the auditors re-
port of May 19. 1919, have examined
the same and beg to report as follows:
With reference to the personal tax
certificates we recommend that the
deduction of $1,000 suggested by the
auditor be made.
We recommend that inventories be
taken at the close of the fiscal year,
and that the fiscal year be made to
run from October 1st to- September
30th, inclusive. We also recommend
valuation of fixed investments, and
that any change in such valuations be
noted at the time of taking inven-
tories.
We recommend that license taxes
be printed for each year and number
| ed consecutively, and that the license
for auto drivers or chauffers run for
one year.
We recommend that city officials
who have not given bond as required
by law, be called upon to do so, and
we further recommend that the city
pay the premiums on official bonds of
officers.
| With reference to amending the
charter on the question of tax enforce
ment, we beg to suggest that if the
acts recently passed by the legisla-
ture do not afford sufficient relief,
that at the next session of the legis-
lature the council procure the passage
of an act giving the city the right to
enforce collection of taxes either by
public sale for taxes according to the
present method, or by foreclosure
proceedings as is done in,many other
municipalities. In other words, we
think one remedy should be cumula.
| tive of the. other.
Respectfully submitted,
