'-J, ;3 discussion, Alderman Beecroft moved that a refund of $120.15 be made to Wood Bros. The motion was seconded by Alderman Korff and carried unan- imously. I The next item of business concerned the purchase in 1944 of 11,095 acres of land by Mr, Val Roberts from the Sallie W. Law Estate. The transfer was made on the County and School District tax records, however, it was never made on the City tax roll, resulting in 15 years of City taxes having been improperly assessed against the ~allie W. Law Estate. City Manager Fuller stated that he has consulted with the Delinquent Tax Attorney who suggested that the Council authorize the deletion of the tax against the Sallie W. Law Estate and a supplemental assessment be made charging Val Roberts with the taxes, Mayor Allen asked whether Mr. Roberts would be charged penalty and interest. The City Manager explained that this would be a supplemental assessment rather than a transfer of taxes, The Council unanimously agreed to delete the taxes against 3aUie W, Law Estate and prepare a supplemental assessment against Val B. Roberts. The City Manager stated that the Tax Assessor-Collector has dis- covered a double assessment on part of Farm Lot 12, in the name of Basilio Loera, 721 Valley Street, 1956 through 1959 - $73.80. After a brief discussion Alderman Hillburn moved that the double assessment be deleted. The motion was seconded by Alderman Beecroft. The motion carried unanimously.
