Jr, Clerk and Treasurer of tbe city, went to Columbia Thursday and ap? peared before the Sinking Fund Commission to effect an adjustment of the assessment of tbe City Hall for taxation It will be re membere that the Sinking Fond Commission made a demand on the city a few weeks ago tor back taxes and penalties on the City Ball on an assaesed valuation of$l7,C00. Acting under instructions from the Mayor and coun? cil Clerk Hurst wrote to Secretary of State Cooper, Chairman of toe Sinking Fund Com? mission, objecting to the valuation as excess? ive and asking for a bearing before tbe mat? ter should be closed. Several letters passed without effecting an aereement, and no day was fixed for the bearing asked by the city. On Wednesday Mr. Horst received a tele? gram from Secretary of State Cooper, say? ing : "The Sinking Fund Commission meets tomorrow. Have money and representative present." Mr. Hurst went over on the morning train, and, appearing before the commission, pre? sented the case of the city to such purpose that ?be commission agreed to reduce tbe valuation of the City Hail for taxation to $7,000, the figure agreed on and recommend? ed by the township board of assessors and the county auditor. The valuatoio is based upon tbe portion of the property not used solely for moncipal purposes and is full and ample when com? pared with the basis upon which all private property is assessed. The part of the Citv Hall that is used for municipal purposes is not liable for taxation at all, and if no part of it was rented or ueed to produce an income for the city it would not be liable for taxation no matter bow great the original cost of the building may have been. City Clerk and Treasurer Hurst has settled with the Sinking Fund Commission and bas received the receipt nod discbarge for all taxes and claims on the City Hall property.
