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

Gentlemen:-
My property, Lot 13, Block 33, Jennings South Addition, as per
statement attached, was assessed for the years 1897, 1898 and 1899, at
$1100.00 for each year. Said assessment was greatly in excess of the
value of the property for said years. Had it been assessed on a basis
of the surrounding property, the assessment would have been not exceed-
ing $800.00 for each year. I respectfully ask your Honorable Body to
permit me to settle my taxes on a basis of $800.00 for each year, and
for a cancellation of all accrued penalties charged up by the assessor
and collector.
Respectfully,
C W Peabody by
