SUBURBAN NOTES.



long time ago the Press mentioned the
alleged report that Mr.. Charles S. Jordan, col
lector of taxes of the town of Cape ELIZABETH,
for 1SS0S1 had failed to give in a complete re-
turn of the taxes committed to him to collect.
and that it was feared that affairs were not all
straight, but Mr.. Jordan had been sick, and
was sick at the time OF the report. and the
town waited for his recovery before proceed
ing to obtain his books of assessments. Final
ly on the 29th of March last Mr.. Clement e.
Staples, acting for the collector, with the aid
OF the assessor. received list of the uncollect-
ed takes from Mr.. Jordan The total amount
unoollected for the two years was reported
at $9,57206, and assuming that the taxes IN.
collected were unpaid the conclusion arrived
at was that Mr.. Jordan had collected $3.50 .26
more than he had paid into the treasury. The
officers also claim that there was discrepancy
between Mr.. Jordan's town report and the ac-
tual state of affairs leaving Mr.. Jordan "short''
$o,539.13. Mr.. Staples has paid the balance of
the county and state tax on authority of the
town collector.

the brain. John fell, and was carried
