missioners against Center township to re-
cover about $4,000 of dog tax alleged to be
due the city schools, was decided in Room
l. Superior Court, yesterday The School
Board holds judgment against the township
for the amount alleged to be due. and
shortly before the adjournment of court
last spring mandatory proceedings were
brought before Judge McMaster to compel
Trustee Makepeace to settle with the boari.
Tile trustee resisted the proceedings on the
grounds that he did not have sufficient
money in any of the funds in his control 20
settle the judgments. He also claimed the
amount due the city schools was collected
by his predecessor. who should nave MADE
the settlement before going out or once
Trustee Gold, it was claimed, turned over
the books to his successor with the state
ment that the township was out of debt.
Attorney Dryer. who was the representa-
tive of the School Board for several years,
and who assisted in the prosecution of the
present suit claimed that he had Informed
Trustee Makepeace of the Indebtedness be-
fore the latter took his office.
In deciding the case against the trustee,
Judge McMaster makes it possible for the
greater part of the money to be raised by

ment at once of $1,000 from the township
tuition fund The remainder of the amount
must be raised by levy of 30 cents on each
800 of taxable property in Center township,

mate that the trustee, by making this levy,
can pay the debt in three years. The in

torney, used the. money due the schools in
action, it was claimed, was based on the
statutes providing for the distribution of
dog tax. Trustee Makepeace must make
his first settlement with the School Board
