Ft. Worth, Texas, October 20th, 1904.

TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR and CITY COUNCIL: FORT WORTH, TEXAS.

Gentlemen:-

You will remember that last Fall I appeared before you asking a refund of taxes to the amount of $938, which I -as guardian of the Estates of Ineze and Johnnie Hanna, minors,- had through an error paid into the City Treasury, on the personal property of said minors, not subject to taxes of the city. After a thorough investigation of the matter you agreed that the amount named in my application was wrongfully paid and that it should be returned. In order to make the return of this money fall as easily on the city as possible I agreed to accept $441.00 of the amount in cash, less a 10% discount, and $249.50 in the form of a cancellation of the city taxes on the property of said Estate for the year 1903, with a tacit understanding that the balance of $248.50 should be settled by the camcellation of the tax receipts on the property of the estate for the year 1904. I was given to understand that the Council of 1903 could not bind the Council of 1904. So, I now respectfully ask -with a view of carrying out the letter and spirit of the adjustment made with me last year, that you pass a resolution instructing the City Secretary to issue a warrant to me for the sum of $245.00 with which to discharge the City taxes against the property of the Hanna Estate for the year 1904, thus fully completing the settlement and cancelling all claim which you acknowledged and partially discharged last year.

Yours respectfully,

SM Furman Guardian Estate Ineze & Johnnie Hanna

Now Ineze Hanna Rosington Johnnie Hanna Roger.

We your Finance Committee recommend that a warrant for the sum of $245.00 be issued as above covering the taxes against the Hanna Estate for the year 1904.
