To the Hon Mayor & City Council

Gentlemen

Taking the facts as set forth in
the foregoing petition as true I am of opinion
that the valuation can not be lowered as requested
but in accordance with my opinion in the
matter of Mrs H F Musick this day filed I
am of opinion that a proper case arises
for a settlement on the [preamble?] that the
city could not by tax sale sell the property
for enough to realize its debit

I am not advised of the truth of this
facts set up but with my opinion on the
facts presented

In case settlement should be made the
city thereon requires payment of such a
sum as it could realize out of the property
reasonably by selling it under a tax title.

Respectfully Submitted
