Mr A. F. Wright,
City Clerk,

Minnesota
Dear Frank:
March 9th, 1935
I am in receipt of your letter of March 1st, relative to
SiF. No.366, which is an act to impose a tax on natural gas, and
containing a resolution passed and adopted by the 6omnonCouncil of the
C$ty of. Rochester, on February 27th,1935, -
I have very carefully read your 1 ett er and several letters
from other citizens of Rochester. The statements that you have made in
your letter I do not think can be disputed, and of course, you know that
I shall not vote for any bill that will work a hardship upon the citi-
zens of Rochester There is no question but what this tas as proposed in
the bill is wholly unjust, and although Pvery concern should pay their
just snare of taxation, a measure of this kind would not be, in my
701
opinion, a fair one: I am makingan investigation, and am trying to
ascertain the amount of tax paidy this Company in the State, and there
is some talk among members of the Tax Committee that if any tax should
be paid, that it should be on a sliding scale.
I shall keep track of this measure, and shall try to folly
protect the rights of the citizens of Rochester*
I am knelosing to you a `copy of a pamphlet, which I found placed
on my desk Thursday morning:
Yours very truly,
Wm. B. Richardson. "
