SING SING CABMEN ALSO DO A BIG BUSI
NESS-RECEIVE on SEIZURE
OF TROLLEY ROAD.

The action of the Sing Sing authorities in seizing
the property OF the Ossning Electric Railway for
non-payment Of taxes has created much surprise
The property seized will not if sold. bring anything
Ike the sum needed to satisfy the debt. For year
the receiver OF the road has operated it partly with
money ont OF his pocket for the convenience
Of the village.
II the power house and house. with their en-
gines dynamos and fittings, had been liable TO
seizure the might have been different. but
they are outside OF the corporate limits, and
therefore ell the village able 10 reize was the
track, overhead work. poles and seven cars. The
whole property seized will not bring more than
$500 or s4o0 when sold
It develops that in taking possession OF the plant
found within the village limits the village took
possession OF its own property. Some time ago in
the usual manner the road advertised de-
nnquent taxpayer and its property auctoned. The
village alone bid for the property. It did not take
possession and allowed the receiver to continue to
the plant
II also appears that the seizure was made on the
strength OF debt of only $3.50. The road owes
s. 500 taxes but except the smaller amount men
toned the time limit has not expired.
