Gentlemea In the matter of the tax
cf 1 11? ia the Third ward of the city
of G.aad Bapidsoa a lot 11 and 3
feet aorta aad souta by 50 fett east
and w?t m northeast, corner cf J of
aa;d lol and house, block 2, Withey's
addit.oa, abased to Geirit Folder man;
I ilr.d oppo.te said description the
word "poor" written, and think the m
teat of the superv;-or was to exempt
said description from the said year'
Ui; however, he failed to exempt eaid
property, a Le extended the regular
amount of tax opposite said descrip
tion, and as the tame wa.s not pud it
was the duty of the collector to return
it unpaid, which he did. The property
has eiace ben sold and deeded to M.
J. Kolts, and the time of redemption
has expired. Therefore, if you desire
to relieve a id Foldermaa from said
tajr, I think it would be necessary to
reas at large oa said ward sum
sufficient to satisfy said M. J. Kolu for
h.j claim.
Bespectfully submitted,
Chahles I. stebbiss,
