 Every Italian: vote in the city vii be used against RAttorney Porter IL Wood, one of the republican nominees for the board of education. The cause is said to have been as follows 1 Some few years ago Lorenzo Consig 1 lio bought a few building lots oI Grandview Heights. MT Wood, as ta, collector for the Town Plot school dis l trict, entered suit against Lorenzo fo eighty eight cents taxes few day. ] ago, without 1t is said. ever notifying 1 the man that suit would be entered against him if he failed to pay his tax es. There were two years taxes the1 l due, the man not understanding tn, 1 taxation system, but MT Porter, fo reasons of his own, entered suit onl, | for one years taxes. When the mal called at MT Woods office to settle MT Wood was ready to accede, but th' man declined on the grounds that NJ l Wood wanted 1928 to adjust matters The idea of paying $23 to settle a bil l of eighty eight cents amazed the mar l and aroused all his friends and neigh l bors against MT Wood, so that one O l the probabilities of election day re l garding MT Wood is that he will fint l himself at the end of the list when tn, | score is counted. Lorenzo keeps : l cobbling shop near the corner O | James street.
