Council Proceedings: August 6, 1906

Fort Worth, Texas, May 7, 1906.

The Hon. City Council, Fort Worth.

Gentlemen:

I own a part of Lot 2, Block 13, Fields-Welch Addition to the City.

As you will see by reference to the map, there are two lots in that block numbered two, the one in which I live being large and subdivided.

These facts I did not know and could not reasonably have been expected to know.

I have at all times stood ready to pay my taxes, and in fact have made repeated attempts to do so; but could never before get the matter straightened out in the Collectors office.

As you will see by reference to certificate number 2859, I have just paid penalties to the amount of $32.24.

Now for the reasons above set forth, I do not think it just for me to have to pay said penalties, and I therefore pray your honorable body to cancel said penalties and reimburse me to the extent thereof.

Most respectfully yours, W.H.Hodge
