To the Honorable Mayor & City CouncilFt Worth, Texas.
Gentlemen:
Upon the statement of your City Assessor and Collector, hereto attached, it is shown that I have as Guardian of the Est. Jno Harra Decd paid into the City treasury, on personal property of said estate, for years 1897 to 1902, inclusive, the sum of Nine Hundred and Thirty Eight ($938.00) Dollars.
This money was paid by me under a misapprehension of the law governing the liability of owners of personal property and was wrongfully paid because, during these years, the owners of the property assessed were nonresidents of the City. All the facts in the case have been set out in a previous paper filed with you and, I now wish to make the following proposition for the return of this money to my wards, which I sincerely trust will meet with your approval= Permit the City taxes on the realty of this estate for 1903 and 1904 to be applied on the settlement of this claim Taxes for 1903 are $248.50 and for 1904 will likely be the same. This will leave
