Oct. 9, 1941 Tompkins County Board of Supervisors; Gentlemen : As set forth in the accompanying. communication, I purchased 5 acres of land in District *3 in 1928. Recently looked up status of this property at the office of the County Treasurer, and found that I am assessed for a parcel of 40 acres instead of 5, and have been continuously assessed for 40 acres since I bought the 5, and have paid taxes on this erroneous assessment for 12 years past. It is reason- able to feel that 35 acres of land in that section would have a tax valuation, and knowing that owners of new homes in Glenside who paid more for their property than I did for mine, and are assessed lower, I feel certain that some portion of my assessment was due to the 35 acres I was supposed to own but did not. I therefore request that a refund be made to me in the amount of taxes paid over the past twelve years on 35 acres of land owned by some- body else, but erroneously assessed to me. Am entering this claim as entirely separate from the claim for quit- claim deed to the 5 acre tract erroneously seized for tax arrears, and I trust that any discussion as to the refund' will not be permitted to delay rectification of this other error. Very truly yours Charles E. Hooks, The Knoll Ithaca, N. Y." 106 PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Mr. Miller offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: WHEREAS a letter has been received from Charles E. Hooks, claiming that he is entitled to a refund on account of an er- roneous assessment of his property in Glenside; Resolved—That this matter be referred to the Committee on Erroneous Assessments and Returned Taxes for investiga- tion and report at the next meeting.
