To the Hon Mayor and Members of Finance Committee of City Council

Ft Worth, Texas,

Gentlemen: Attached you will find statement of the assessment of lots 1 & 4 Block 95 City and the amount as changed by the Board of Equalization

The undersigned hereby petitions your honorable body for a reduction of the N 55ft of lot 4 from $2100 to $1600 for the following reason.

1st. The change was made by the Board of Equalization without any knowledge on my part and and my place which cost me $1900 was first at $2100 while the place wouth of me (s42 ft of 4) was put at $1900- and which place cost the owner $2500_ and is worth at least $600 more than mine.

2nd. My place is not worth more than $1900, renting for only $13.00 per month and 8% of this amount being only $1600. I would gladly take less than $2100 for my place

Respectfully HHoffman

Pet

We your Finance Com beg to report that we are without authority to change the assessment referred to and therefore recommend that the petition be recand filed.
