OFFICE OF
W. J. GILVIN,
City Assessor and Collector

DEPUTIES:
R. G. LITTLEJOHN,
W. B. MARTEL,
L. E. DAY.

Fort Worth, Texas, Jan. 6 1904

Honorable Chairman and Members of the
Finance Committee, City Council,
Ft. Worth, Tex.

Gentlemen, Referring to attached petition, the property
of Mr. Mountcastle was assessed as

Lot	Block	Addition	Ground	Improvement	Total
N 60 E 110 8100 ft 3	41	Jen South	2000	2800	4800
N 50 S 150 E 110 " 3
When the description should have been
W 50 E 110 S 100 ft. 3	41	Jen South
N 50 S 150 W 100 E 110 ft 3

The ground owned is 1/6 less on the front lot
and 1/11 less on back lot than is assessed, and
as the ground is valued at $2000 - I think
a fair assessment would be Ground $1700, Imp $2800.
Total $4500.

Yours respectfully,
W. J. Gilvin
City Assr. & Coll.

Mr. Gilvin:

There still appears a discrepancy. Mr. Mountcastle states that he bought
only 50 x 100 feet, not 50 x 110 ft. - that the question of a possible alley in
the rear of his place not having been dedicated, is a matter into which he has
nothing to do - which being the case it is manifestly unfair to assess him with
the extra 10 feet. Please investigate and return this to me tomorrow or Friday
so that it may be acted on definitely at the next meeting.
