TAX COLLECTORS DEFICIENCY.
Restoring About sec. 900 After tho Little
IrrcgulnrIty Mn. Discovered.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass, March l1.-For the
past four years A. W. Richardson II man OF
considerable property and high standing. has
been Collector Of Taxes in this town and has
paid over 10 the Treasurer. in accordance with
the warrant issued by the Assessors about
100000 Il year. There are two national banks
In town. considerable share of whose stock is
owned by non-residents. and Mr.. Richardson
Of course collected the taxes on these non res
ident shares. On account Of clerical error
the bank shares. the tax on which amounted to
from So 600 to 900 year. had been omitted
from the tax warrants. on which the Treasurer
years-lS7S. 1879 and lSS0Mr. Richardson
failed 10 make returns to the town. the Board
because this tax was not included in the regu-
lar tax warrant. The Collector u short time
ago went to the Chairman of the Board Of Gov
eminent and gave him between slS, 900 and
$4,000. which. he said, belonged to the town
but further than that he could not account for
1t. 1t was soon discovered by the Seectmen
where the money belonged and why tho bank
shares We're not included in the warrant
The Chairman of the Board Of Assessors says
that at about the time Mr.. Richardson returned
the money he was in the Collectors office and
asked Richardson how he had collected the tax
on bank shares. or how it happened to be
omitted from tho manual. In view of these
things. the comments by citizens and business
men arc In no wise complimentary to the
Collector.
