The latter part of the description reads as follows: "The boundaries of the above described parcel of land form a five sided figure whose South, East, I•iorth, Vest and Southeast sides measure This description should read as follows: "The boundaries of the above described parcel of land form a five sided figure whose South, East, North, West and Southwest sides measure.."

LIENS FOR IMPROVEMENTS AGAINST PROPERTY OF MIAMI WATER COMPANY The City Attorney presented a copy of communication from him to W. A. Kohlhepp, Direo- tor of Finance, in referenoe to the exemption claimed by the Miami Water Company on special improvements against certain lots owned by the Water Company. Upon motion of J. E. Lummus, seconded by J. H. Gilman, copy of said communication was ordered filed and planed upon the recorde: Mr. W. A. Kohlhepp, Direotor of Finanoe, City of Miami, Fla. Dear Sir: Miami, Florida, December 4th, 1922. Answering your letter of November 22nd With a oopy of improvement liens against the property of the Miami Water Company, together with copy of letter from that Company claiming that under the terms of the franchise the Company is exempt from the payment of these taxes, I beg to advise that in my opinion it is extremely doubtful if the Company can claim that these lots are exempt from special assessments levied thereon. The provisions of the franchise relating to this question pro- vide that all the property of the Company which is owned at the date of the grant of the franchise, or which it might thereafter acquire, own, construct, maintain and operate, under said franchise "shall, during the said term of this franchise be exempt from the payment of any or all mu- nicipal taxes or assessments which are or may be assessed or levied by said City." The franchise further provides that the performanoe of the coven- ants and agreements contained in the ordinance granting the franchise on the part of the grantee to be by it kept and performed, and the granting to the City of the privileges and benefits recited in the ordinanoes " shall be in effect a payment of any and all such taxes and assessments which are or may be assessed or levied by said City during the term of this franchise." The general rule is that in the absence of express authorization, a municipal corporation has no power to exempt lands from special assess- ment. It is also the general rule that exemption from taxation does not include exemption from special assessments. Accordingly, property of an incorporated academy, exempt "from all taxation, State, County, Mu- nicipal and special", was held by the courts to be not thereby exempt from assessments for local improvements. It has also been held that lo• cal assessments are not included in an exemption from taxation for State, County, City or other municipal purposes. It has also been held that an exemption from "all public taxes, rates and assessments" does not in- clude a municipal assessment for local improvements. I can find no defision of the supreme court of the State of Flori- da upon thie question. It is to be observed that the franchise exempts all property which is now or may hereafter be acquired, owned, construot- ed, maintained and operated under said franchise by said grantee", the Water and Light Company. I do not think that the language quoted ne- cessarily means all of the property which may be owned by the Company but is limited to such property as is owned by the Company" and operated under said franchise" by the Company; even if the Company is entitled to any exemption at all. The amount involved in this matter is a veryoonsiderable sum of money, and I am making a copy of this for the City Commission so that they may deoide as to whether or not proper action shall be brought to recover the money, and thereby make a test case of the question involved. Yours very truly, A. J. ROSE City Attorney !telIIIllailM111111I11I!I111111!I1'1111 IIIIl1111111111111ii11111111111111IIIIII1111p11111111111111111lBOtI1p11W11111111WIPM111111111p111111l10101111111MNIN@IIIIINYEWEl11®IQ'111p11111111111111lIIIIIIP11111111111®Illllllllpl!Yp1111111111111111f11pp/1611®fI011B1'Cppl®.1111MIKIIIM11®p111111111!IIIII®I1711111111111111111111111111UIp111I1®11111111Ipiip111i1611111111111111 ix 740G?r,.±''.. rp, .114 Deoember 6th, 1922. ;Y Thereupon upon motion of J.
