To the Mayor and City Council of Fort Worth:-
Your petitioner, J.M. Logan, begs leave to submit that for the year of 1895 Lots 6 and 12 in Block 28 of the old town of Fort Worth were assessed to an unknown owner at $10,000.00 valuation, and for the year 1896 said lot 6 in said Block 28 of the old town of Fort Worth was assessed at a valuation of $6,000.00 to an unknown owner.
In the year 1895 Lots 1 and 2 in Block 1 in More, Thornton & Co.'s Addition to the City of Fort Worth were assessed to an unknown owner at a caluation of $8,000.00 and for the year 1896 said Lot No. 2 in Block 1 in said More, Thornton & Co. Addition was assessed to Robert McCart at a valuation of $2000.00.
After there assessments I became the owner of the aforesaid lots, and I am therefore interested in the question of an equitable valuation upon said property. I beg to submit that the aforesaid valuations are excessive and unreasonable, and I petition that your honorale body shall reduce said valuations are follows:-
That said lots 6 and 12 in Block 28 of the old town of Fort Worth shall be assessed for the year 1895 for the valuation of $4000.00, and that said lot 6 shall be assessed for the year 1896 at a valuation of $2000.00; and that said lots 1 and 2 in Block 1 in the Moore, Thornton & Co. Addition to the City of Fort Worth shall be assessed for the year 1895 at a valuation of $4000.00. I will not ask for any reduction on said lot 2 for the year 1896 which is valued at $2000.00, which is perhaps a reasonable valuation.
Now if you shall find the aforesaid valuations right and proper I stand ready to pay the taxes for said years at the valuations suggested aforesaid.
