The following co~mnBication was received from
K. D. Purdy and read.
"December 16, 1927.
Town Commissioners,
Boynt on, Florida.
Gentlemen:
Enclosed herewith are tax bills for the years
1926 and -1927 on lots 26 to 32 inclusive in "The ~awns".
These lots we have.recently acquired on a mortgage fore-
c~osure, the mortgage on the seven lots b~ing about $2~00
or around $357 per lot. The owners of the property pre-
ferr~d to turn it back rather than pay this amount.
The Town Taxes for two years on these same lots
amount to over $320. In other words, the taxes are about
15~ of the present value of the lots. We believe we are
j~stified in asking for an adjustment of these taxes.
The basis on which they are taxed is not m~ch short of
confiscation. I might add that we would be glad to
sell them for ~J§0 apiece, subject to the taxes against
them.
Awaiting your reply, we remain,
Very truly yours,
HALL and PURDY
By E. D. Purdy".

found that the assessed valuation on the Droperty

Commission in Behalf of Mr. K. D. ?urdy and ~.
Becket, who were also present, and objected to the

1927 placed on the following described propertyE
E~ of NE¼ of Govt Lot l, Sec. 5.
W~ of Govt Lo~ 1, Sec. 5. '
W~ of SE~ of NE~ less South 330 ft. Sec. 5.
After discussing the above matter, t~is
ma~ter was laid over for further consideration.
There being no further business the
