The question of the City's Liability to the Duncan & Clerk Electric Co.
on the White Way Project being presented by Hon. T.^. »»eaver, their Attorney,
the Board called on the City Attorney for opinion, which was presented as follows:
The minutes of the Mayor and Board cf Aldermen show that the letting of
the White Way Contract was conditioned on the City's obtaining a Right cf Way on
the West side of Hrrvey Avenue from the F. 0. &. "T. 2. Railroad. The Board did not
obtain this Right s&f Way.
They did not let final contract nor accept a bond, there
fore are not liable. Furthermore Durefm & Clark would be estopped in any claim onfirst contract because they bid on new entrant on same work, both of which bids
are now on file in the office of the City Clerk.
Motion was therefore duly made and carried
that the claim of Duncan and
Clark for work done cr expenses incurred in letting of first White Way Contract
be and are hereby disrllowed.
On motion duly made a:;d carried it is ordered that all remaining balance
in budget allowance for advertising be LJA is hereby written off, and said allowance is closed.

TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF PICAYUNE,
IN THE COUNTY OF PEARL RIVER, AND STATE OF MISSISSIPPI.
*
\
How comes R.J.Williams, resident citizen of Pearl Hiver County, MisslsB*;
" sippi, and respectfully shows your honorable Board,that he, the said R.J.Williams,
is aggrieved at the action and decission of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of thai
said City of Picayune, as to the assessment of taxes on, and in the matter of the
approval of the-land assessment of the said R.J.Williams,by the said Mayor and Boa
Board of Aldermen, of the said City of Picayune, upon the land assessment roll of jj
I
' the said municipality,for the years of 1928 and 1929, of the lands of the said
|
R.J.Williams, assessed for taxes for said years, on said land assessment Roll, and.;
described on said assessment roll, as shown by a list hereto attached, marked
Exhibit "A" and made a part of this petition for appeal,
Your petitioner shows that in making said assessment,of said lands, for
said years, your honorable body raised the valuation of said property, and of each
piece or parcel thereof, to the amount of the said valuation, as shown on said
,
list marked Exhibit "A". That the said raise in aaid valuation', of said property, ;
•-• by your honorable Board,was a great inorease in valuation, of the same property, i'
over the assessment thereof in said municipality,for the years 1926 and 1937,and I
1
was also a very material increase of said property from the assessment filed by
'your Clerk, of said Town, with the Mayor and Board of Aldermen thereof, That your
petitioner's property was increased, in valuation over the assessment thereof for
the years 1826 and 19S7, to the amount of approximately$62,000.00, and that said in
crease in valuation is not warranted under any circumstances,
Petitioner further shows that said property has really decreased in
valuation instead of increasing in valuation since said assessment of 1926 and 1927
that thete has been generally circulated in the municipality of Picayune a rumor
172
. or siifctment that the mills located in said City and which constitute the principal industrial activity, of said City of Picayune, will be in operation for only a
few years, as their timber supply will be exhausted, and it has oaused the value
I
of the property to decrease,and has also caused a decrease in the demand for property in said City.
Petitioner further shows to your honorable Board that a large part of
said lands owned by petitioner, and described in said Exhibit "A" are low and wet an
and non-salable, and all of said property is vacant property, from which no income
whatever is derived by your petitioner,that most of said property is inaccessible
to the waterworks looated in said municipality, and has no jipe lines for water in
or near said property, and water can only be obtained by the owner of said land
at a large expense to himself, and this faot materialy effects the valuation of
said property as compared with property owners,having the advantage of a good water
supply.
Petitioner further shows that while a large part of said property is
I
platted into town lots and streets and alleys of which have been dedicated for street
purposes, the said City has not opened said streets , nor worked said streets, there
fore the said lots have none of the advantages of lots located on opened and worked
and maintained streets of said City. In faot practically- the only privilege the owner
of said lots has by reason of their being looated within said municipality of Picayune is that of having the said lots assessed at an exceedingly high valuation,and
that of being required,to pay taxes on said property at much more than is just and
equitable, and at a higher rate than other tax-payers of said City.•
Petitioner further shows that the said property described in said Exhibit
"A" is assessed for taxation in an amount in excess of its real value, and for an am
amount out of proportion to the assessment of property owned by other parties in
said City of Picayune, and is assessed at a sun in excess of its assessable valua-
I
tion, and therefore petitioner is entitled to have said assessment reduced,
Petitioner therefore shows thatbthe assessing of said property by your
Honorable Board, at the valuation thereof, for the years 1928 and 1929, amounts to
a confiscation of petitioners said property and is unauthorized under the law of the
State of Mississippi, and petitioner feeling aggrieved, by reason of said assessment
hereby demands an appeal to the Circuit Court of Pearl River County,from said assessment of said property as herein referred to.
Petitioner tenders herewith a good and valid Bond in the sum of $6,000.00
being more than double the amount involved,as provided by law, and he prays that said
bond be aocpted,filed and approved,and that the Clerk of your Honorable Board prepare and file a transcript of said assessment, and all papersnconnected therewith,
with the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Pearl River County as is required by law.
Respectfully submitted,
