Form No. 275.

OFFICE OF THE
Western Union Telegraph Company,
(INCORPORATED)

Fort Worth, Texas, Jan.25,1905.

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

GREETING:--

Being desirous of clearing the records of the taxes now due
and unpaid by the Western Union Telegraph Company at Fort Worth, I
hereby petition the said Hon. City Council for a reduction in the
assessed vaulation for the years 1901, 1902 and 1903 to conform to
assessed valuation of the year 1904, viz., $7,500.00 without accrued
interest for delinquency, the said valuation as now appearing of record
being too high and unjust.

I believe it to be expedient to all parties concerned that
this matter be adjusted, and I hereby petition the Hon. Council for
the relief prayed.

Respectfully submitted,

HB Cernery
Manager.
