"Austin, Texas, September 13,1922, Hon, Harry L. Haynes, Supt. Receipts, Disbursements & Accounts, Austin, Texas. Dear Sir: We have the honor to report that as directed by the Honorable City Commission, we have today turned over to your City Clerk the data and records called for in our contract with your city. It is with sincere gratitude that the writer wishes to thank you, and through you, the Honorable City Commission, the Tax Assessor and Collector and his assistants and the City Engineer and forces employed in the office of the Street Commissioner, where we have worked, for the hearty co-operation which you have all given us. In this connection, I cannot pass the opportunity to mention the fact that while it is a well-known fact that we usually in making a comprehensive survey find innumerable parcels and tracts of land that have not been listed on the tax rolls such has not been the case in your city. This is mentioned as a matter of compliment to your Assessor and his forces and is considered worthy of this special notice because he has heretofore been compelled to carry on his work with insufficient map records which are a prime essential to an assessing office. It is the sincere wish to the writer that you will find the work submitted satisfactory in every way, both to your official family and to your citizenship as a whole, for this matter of giving satisfactory work is a matter of pride with this company. Yours very truly, Stoner, Gallagher & Groos, Inc., By (Sgd) J. Frank Gallagher, Vice President." The Council then adjourned.
