ELMENDoRFS OPINION.
He Is in Favor of Sueing the
Water Works Company for
Back Taxes.


A LIGHT representative met AL
derman Elmendorf, chairman of
the finance committee, this morn
ing and asked his opinion regard
ing the opinion of City Attorney
A. Levy, on the matter of exempt
ing taxation on the property of
the Water Works company. Mr..
Elmendorf said: "At first | was
not satisfied that Mr.. Levy was
exactly right, but | have thorough
ly investigated the matter and find
that his opinion is exact. Now,
judging from that the water
works company is indebted
to the city for back taxes in the
sum of about $4,000. Now, how
to get that money is a question.
The only way to get it, so far as 1
can see, is to file a suit against the
Water Works company for that
amount, as | am almost positive
that Col. Breckenridge will refuse
to pay it. BY taking the matter
into the courts, l think we can
secure the S25, 900 back taxes, which
are justly due u.s." When asked if
a suit would be filed, Mr. .Elmendorf
said: "Well, that should be kept
quiet. 1t is the only thing to do"
