I spent last Tuesday afternooni in the Ta:: Ass,zssor's office going through tb..e Personal Property Tax file. This portion of the tax roll presents some problems and I will spend another afternoon next week completing this portion. On June Gth the Railroad Assessment Board advised that they would be unable to furnish valuations for Railroad and Telegraph property until July 15th. In view of the above, I have requested the City Attorney to prepare a Resolution requesting additional time, until September 15th, to file Assessed Valuations' Report to the State Controller. This resolution should be acted upon this evening as it is due in the Comptrollers office June 30th. The Auditors, H. W. Shepard and Co. have begun working on the audit for the year 1967/60 and I will he working closely with them throughout the entire audit. Recently, a Councilman asked if I knew why Lake Apopka Natural Gas District trucks used a City License Plate and if the City of Clermont paid for said license. Mouse Bill #2195, which established this District states that "The body corporate hereby created shall be deemed to be owned and operated by the member municipalities." I assume this makes them eligible for a Government Tag. The City of Clermont does NOT pay for the tag. Respectfully submitted, ohn W. Fleming, Controller k y
