ANOTHER HOOBOO LAW.

Frederick Mershiemer was recently ap-
pointed a Collector of Arrearages OF
Taxes by the Board of Finance. The ap-
pontment WAS made under an act of the
last Legislature, which created the Office.
The act, however, failed to provide for the
payment of the official and there is no
other provision In the law which covers
the matter. The salary allowed Mars
heimer by the Board OF Finance is $1,000.
cember without pay, there seems to be
know other way for him TO fill the office.
Mayor Wanser said this morning that
the Office was good one, and Collector
of Arrearages who attended to his duty
would add thousands of dollars to the
city's income. He did not, however, see
