Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
Gentlemen:
The last day for payment of the first installment for an assessment
for a local improvement came due on Monday, March 23. March 30 and
April 6 will also ma.rk the last days on which the first installments
of respective assessments may be paid.
Due to the present postal carriers' strike, many property owners were
unable to get their first installments into the Finance Department be-
fore the March 23 deadline. It appears that the same fate may be in
store for the property owners whose first installments are due on or
before the March 30 and the April 6 deadlines.
I am, therefore, recommending that the 10% penalty for the non-=payment
, of the first installment be temporarily postponed until it is certain
that all property owners have actually and effectively had a full
thirty-day period in which to remit their first installment payments
to the Finance Department. As long as there is no possibility of mail-
ing a payment to the Finance Department, these people are not effec-
tively receiving a thirty-day period to pay the first installment of
their assessment.
I shall send a copy of this letter to the State Public Examiner.
S' cerely,
