compromise
,against its stock of liquor located at its store at 4th & Washington streets, and
having paid said taxes under protest;
A nd it appearing that said Company listed as of July lot, 1940, its
!liquor stock for taxation purposes at a valuation of $12,800.00, and without notice to
:Said Company the Board of Equalizers increased the valuation to $30,000.00; and,
h Tt is the contention of the City of Paducah that the Hunt Distribut-
;I
�iin:- Company failed to list for taxation purposes all of the,property owned by it on
July 1st, 1940, and in order to compromise the claim of the City of Paducah that certain
of its liquor stock was omitted when the list was given into the City Assessor, said
"Company has agreed to pay taxes upon a valuation of „12,000.00 on property as omitted
or upon a total valuation of $24,800.00; and,
It appearing that in order to avoid the payment of penalty and
?interest the Hunt Distributing Company paid its taxes upon the total valuation of
4M,000.00 as established by the Board of Equalizers; and,
The City Manager having recommended to the Board of Coimnissioners the
Iacceptarce of said offer;
n
I therefore move that the City of Paducah accept the compromise offer
of the Hunt Distributing Company to pay taxes for the year 1941 based upon a total
valuation of 024,800.00, and that the City Treasurer be authorized to refund to said
Sori,any the su^ of $72.80. Adopted on call of the roll: Yeas; Comaisaionors i
