Alderman Gill asked the reason for the amount asked and it was explained that the full amount was not immediately necessary as it was an estimate of the total cost for the entire emergency period of certain administrative expenses, such as Clerk hire,heat,light and telephone. It was,therefore, suggestedthat a small amount be authorized and that addi.tionel sums might be appropriated if and when necessary. 182 B.C. -2- i�-I1-31 By Alderman dyers: seconded by Ald.

Rey PrOlDerty Reporting on the Reyna lot Attorney Treman stated that Air. Allen had paid $110 for _ the lot and that there was due and owning in interest $17.33 and in taxes $9. 20. He again strongly questioned the validity and legality of the City making any payment to Mrst Reyna, pointing out that the Tax Law places upon property owners at grievance period the obliga- tion of seeing to it that their property is correctly assessed and thus relieves the City of the responsibility of any errors or mistakes which are otherwise bound to creep in on each Tax Roll. _ The Alderman agreed that Mrs. Reyna should pay the $9. 20 taxes, and that the City should repay the cost 'of the lot $ 110 plus accrued interest of $ 17.33.
