FT. WORTH, TEXAS December 18th, '03.

To the Honorable Mayor and City Council,
City of Fort Worth, Texas

Gentlemen:---

Some days since I called on the City Collector to pay
my taxes and found that my property at 1126 Pennsylvania Avenue was assessed
as 60 feet by 110 feet on Pennsylvania Avenue, assessment at $4800. The
facts are I only own 50 by 100 feet, consequently I have been assessed for 20
feet of ground I do not own. I beg you to authorize the
Collector to correct the rendition to read 50 feet by 100 feet, and also to reduce
the value to $4000. instead of 4800. The assessment I judge is simply
a clerical error.

Yours truly,
G. C. Mountcastle

Mr. Mountcastle further states that the property is not
otherwise properly described.

Your Finance Com. therefore recommends that the
above be referred to the City Assessor and Collector
for a statement of the facts in this case.
