Ocala, Fla, July 5, 1919.
Your committee, appointed to inves-
tigate the inequality of assessments,
specifically calling attention to Jno. L.
Edwards. begs leave to make the fol-
lowing report:
That having investigated many as.
sessments of individuals in the county,
your committee included, respectfully
submit that it would be impossible
for this committee to make an intel
ligent report in any specific case, as
we find practically all of those inves
tigated, the committee included, are
greatly underassessed. We therefore
urge that you make such arrange
ments, as in your judgment seems
best, for proper equalization of taxes
in our county.
Respectfully submitted,
Nathan Mayo.
