DR.. Perrault rose to a question OF
| privilege yesterday when the Supervisors
! came together, and denounced as rank
misstatement a story which appeared IN
the Examiner of Sunday concerning the
| Office of Tax Collector Sheehan and the
political differences alleged to exist be-
tween him and the Supervisor. Mr..
Sheehan registered an energetic kick be-
cause of the refusal of the Supervisors
to allow him $500 additional in the tax
levy for extra clerk hire, and alleged that
Perrault, as chairman of the Finance
Committee, was acting as the agent OF
Crimmins and Kelly. This Perrault de-
MED yesterday, and Sheehan, expecting
| a wellserved-up roast, did not appear.
Instead he was represented before the
board by Gavin McNab and Morris NJ
IIstee, also by his chief deputy, Tom
Hagan. The attorneys announced that
they had come in to talk over the Sl5OO
proposition, but Perrault headed them or
with an inquiry to whether or no they
were prepared to stand for the truth of
the matter given the Examiner by Shee-
han. They admitted they were not, and
finally gave up the job entirely and re
tired. There were a number OF other
county officials on hand to argue again
for a raise in the amounts allowed their
several offices under the tax levy, but the
