31st March 1893 To the members of the House of Delegates Seattle Wash Gentlemen In my assessment on personal property for 1892, I was assessed the sum of $700 for my office furniture. I appeared before the Board of Equalization and asked them to allow me the usual rebate of $300 I being a married man They promised to attend

it and when I went to pay my city taxes today, the tax on the full $700 was demanded. As the county commissioners allowed the rebate of $300 when I applied to them I now ask your honorable body to permit the city treasurer to make the same reduction your respectfully Albert J. Forest

I would state that I have no other personal property in Seattle. My residence being in the county.
