of the board ami answered many
questions in behalf of the city as
several complnlltcrs appeared to pro-

dered what they regarded as a rea-
sonable sum In settlement of their
taxes In August when a four per
cent discount wns nvailahle, and
that It was not accepted, that they
were still entitled to the fonr per
emit discount. Falling to convince
the hoard or nnv one else that the
discount was applicable, the next
consideration asked, was that the
10 per" cent penalty be removed.
Tijc answer was that no one had
(lie authority to take off the pen-
ult'' fixed by the laws of the tnnd.
