A Perfect Circus Crush at the
County Treasurer's Office.
The rush at the county treasurer's
Office yesterday was like the crowd
around ticket wagon at a circus. Peo
pie who could not get near the window
would, in numerous Instances, pin a roll
of bills to memorandum of their taxes
and throw the package over the railing.
Over bushel of letters containing
checks and money were received
through the mail. This was in addition
to the hundreds of letters on hand,
which have not yet been opened.
The Office force had no OPP
portunity to go out all day
for their meals, so that a large clothes
basket filled with lunch and large
boiler of coffee were carried into the
back room, where hasty bites and hot
swallows were taken as occasion
afforded. Comfy Treasurer Nelson said
that about one million dollars was taken
in yesterday. Two policemen stood on
guard at the moor all afternoon and
evening to guard the money and pre-
serve order. At one time during the
morning the rush for the cashiers office
became so great by persons waiting for
their change and receipts that some
people were almost crushed.
