A. R. No. 41, and we believe we voice the sentiments of ail the Grand Army Posts of Tompkin's county, as well as all the men of your county who par- ticipated in the war for the Union of the states, and all who sympathized with.the Union arms, to' ask of your honorable body an appropriation of $5,000 or• such a sum as will be sufficient to erect a suitable monument, (to be erected at the county seat), to commemorate the memory of the gallant sons of Tompkins county who fell in the greatstruggle for the unity of the states and the rights of man. i Remembering with pride how generously your predecessors appropriated tens,,yes, hundreds of thousands of dollars to' defray the necessary expenses of placing vour sons and brothers in that wall of steel that protected the persons and property of ::our citizens\from destruction, we come to you now, after the lapse of a quarter of a century, and ask you but for a pittance of the amount ;then poured out like water, to show to the friends of the fallen,'that Tompkins county has not forgotten her illustrious dead ;.and inasmuch as their lives were 'sacrificed for the common benefit of all, it is no more than "just and equitable that all should contribute to this rneinorial. The legislature of this state, •we be- lieve, realizing that this was a proper and 'just procedure, have empowered you by'special legislation to do this honorable act, thereby attesting the appreciation of our people for the sacrifices they made and,at the same time serving as an' in_ centive to future patriotic acts, to the sons of Tompkins county, should the emergency ever again arise, to call her men to arms. We ask for nothing for ourselves, but we do most respectfully request that our fallen comrades may not , be forgotten, and we believe that you will esteem it a privilege to grant our pe talon, and we also firmly'believe it will meet .with the unanimous approval, of your constituents..

Said report is as follows: To the Board of Seiliewa SOTS : • We, the undersigned committee appointed to investigate and report in regard to erroneous assessments, would respectfully -report : - 1st, We find that the Psi Upsilon society were assessed on the assessment roll of Ithaca for the year 1885 for the sum of $4,000 ; that the said society should have been assessed at the sum of $2,000, as appears from the statement of a ma- jority of the assessors of said town. That the sum of *47 47 should be returned to said sbciety, and the same be added to the town budget of the town of Ithaca: f 2nd. We find that Miles Rumsey, of the town of Enfield, is a minister of the Gospel, and as such is entitled to an exemption of $.1,500. (a R. S, 952, �y.) That he was not allowed such exemption on the assessment of 1885, and paid the tax thereon for said year. That he is entitled to be repaid the sum of $t6.5 ; and that the sum of $16 85 be added to the town budget of•the town of Enfield. 3d. We find that Mary J. Newman was erroneously assessed on,,the assess- ment roll of the town of Ithaca for 1885 for certain personal estate. That she removed from the county in the month of January, 1885, and was not properly assessable on said roll. That she paid tax upon such assessment to the tax re- ceiver of the town of Ithaca. That Mary J. Newman is entitled to have repaid to her for such tax, so erroneously assessed, the sum of '$30 89, and that such sum be added to the town budget of the town of Ithaca. 4th.' We find that there is an error in the assessment of John Northrup as executor of the estate of Frederick .D. Tucker, deceased. on the assessment roll of Ithaca for the year 1886, and that the same should have.been assessed at $1.000 personal instead of i;2,5o0, and that the'Supervisor of the town of Ithaca be au- thorized to correct the said assessment roll by striking out the said -assessment • of $2.500 and inserting in the place and stead thereof 4.he sum of $1,000. .1) a \ SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS. 43 � 1 5th. ,We find that Edwin Teeter was:erroneously assessed on certain real estate on the assessment roll of the town of Lansing for the year 1885; and paid the tax thereon. That the said Teeter is entitled to have repaid to him 'the sum of $4 07, and that the same be added to the town budget of the town of Lansing. t 6th. We find that C. W. Hausner was erroneously assessed on certain real , estate on the 'assessment roll of the town of Ithaca for the year '885, and paid the tax thereon: That the said'Hausner is entitled to have repaid to him the suin of $1 zo, and that the same be added to the town budget of the toren of Ithaca. 7th. We find that Seymour Bates was erroneously assessed on the assess- ment roll of the town of Ulysses for the sum of $4,000 personal that he should have been assessed upon the sum of $2,000 personal on said roll. That the said Bates paid the tax upon the said excess of $z,000 assessment, and that he is en- + titled to have the tax so paid,,on the said $2,000 returned to him. 'That the sum of $3o•84, being..such tax, be returned to said Bates,•and added to the town budget ac -the town of Ulysses. Sth. We find that Joel Hough is a minister of the Gospel, and as such is entitled to the ministerial exemption ; that he was not allowed such exemption in• the assessment of 1885 in the town of Groton, and paid the tax upon his assessment in said town. That he is entitled to have repaid to him the sum of $8.34, and that the said sum be added to the town budget of the town of Groton. gth. We find that Wm. H. AIlen is assessed upon the assessment roll of the 'town of Groton1l for the year of 1886, upon •a farm divided by the town and, county line ; that the said farm'fis unoccupied, and that each part should be assessed in the town in *filch the same is situated. Your committee therefore recommend that the Supervisor of.the towil at Groton be authorized to strike from his assessment roll the sum of $3 000' being the assessment on 123 acres, the same being situated in the town of Locke, Cayuga county.
