"August 3, 1927.
Mr. E. L. Winchester,
Town Clerk,
Boynton, Florida.
Dear Mr. Winchester:-
On behalf of our client, B. ~' Mitchel, we protest
against the following assessmsnts, to-wit:
The South 440 fee~ of Gov. Lot 3, Section 27,
$26,400.
The South 165 feet of Gov. Lot 4, Section
S6600.
The North two and one-half acres muck lot 37,
$12oo.
Our protest is based upon the ground that these
assessments are out of proportion to the value of the property
and upon the further ground that upon the basis of these
assessments, these three parcels of land, because they are
so remotely situated from the present settled portion of the
town, will be called upon to bear taxes which are out of all
proportion to any real or fancied benefit tkerefrom. Will
you please file this protest and bring the matter to the atten-
tion of the council and advise us of their dispostition in
the matter.
Thanking you for your courtesy, we beg to remain,
Very tru! y yours,
Eearly, Fisher, Vari~etre & Chapman,
