Gentlemen:
am the owner of the +. "A of Lot
Ii and West Is of Lot u WEIGH
Bros. Broadway Sub. of part .Of Eure-
ka Iron and Steel WkS. Sub. of part
of sec. % rs S-R11E. West of ID. VI.
X L. r. H. this lot is on Mulberry
Street.
On Sept. /, 1911 water mains were
ordered III TO this particular Sub. and
special assessment district set up by
Council resolution of that date.
Thru some unforeseen circumstances
10 which no one is To blame work was
not started on this project until quite
a long time after this date. The work
was not completed until May s, 1917.
On July Il, 1912 paid the taxes OH
this particular parcel of land includ-
ing special assessments. The assess
ment for this particular water main
was $51.24 plus interest of sos and
penalty of IL as per attached bill.
This is obviously unfair to charge
me the interest and penalty on this as
the work was not completed until May
s, 1912 and 50 was of no use TO me
until that date.
The interest and penalty on this par
ticular water main should be cancelled
for the whole district. Thanking you
for your kind consideration and hop
ing that you agree with me Oh this
matter, i am,
Very truly yours,
