To the Honorable City Council of the City of Fort Worth.

Gentlemen:

With reference to the attached statement of the taxes of A. W. Key, I would respectfully state to the Council that I have taken up this matter with Mr. Smith who is trustee for Assignee for the estate of A.W. Key and I find that the goods of the said Key which were sold realized a very small amount of money and the said assignee is unwilling to pay the taxes of the said Key in full which amount to about $75.00, but he is willing to pay the amount of the taxes as stated in the accompanying statement.

Inview of the fact that litigation would almost certainly result and in view of the fact that there are grave doubts as to whether or not the assignee could be compelled to pay any taxes except those set forth in the attached statement, I therefore recommend to the Council that they accept the sum of $42.13,which I am informed is about one-third of the whole estate, in full payment of the taxes due.

Very respectfully

EC Orrick
