Furthermore’ that it was out of his jurisdiction to « question, the wisdom of the move.

That the ‘City Equilization Board meeting once a year in June. had. the, power, s.| and no one else to lower assess- _ | ments. That ‘the charter reads that any assessment made prior to the adoption of the. charter in 2945 stands as is and can not be corrected. Lester agreed with some of the statements, but in turn reversed the questioning procedure by asking to be,shown, in the charter where there was | any prohibition of the tax abate- ment move. Mayor Louis M. J. Eisner told all concerned that at mission on Monday, May 1, the matter would be aired.
