Hon Mayor
and Council of the City of Seattle
Gentlemen
The following error appears in my assessmentt
for 1889 upon the City rolls, to wit: for the sum of
four hundred ($400.00) dollars bearing date December 22, 1888
and recorded in Vol 27 of mortgages page 451 records of King
County, was Erroneously assessed by the County Assessor, he
making same read Four Thousand ($4000.00) dollars
The assessment was extended on basis of the latter
amount. When making up my detail list Informed the
Deputy Assessor that my indebtedness, of record,
the aggregate amount of mortgages and securities held by
me. This can be ascertained by reference to Vol 27 of mortgages at
page 580. therefore I would most respectfully ask taht the
City Treasurer be instructed to return, as an Error, the
item in my assessment ie "2000.00 personal property
tax"
Yours Respy
