PREFERS TO BE IN JAIL.
Six Months a Softer Sentence Than
Fine of 1850 for Meyer.

Six Months a Softer Sentence Than
Fine of $3.50 for Meyer.
Though he returns Savannah real
estate to the amount of $1,000, John
F. Meyer chooses to stay in jail six
months rather than pay fine of $3.50
He has been there for about two weeks
now. and he says he is willing to re-
main until his sentence has been serv-
ed out II haven't anything to do
now. anyway" he says, "and l had
might as we'll make $40 a month by
staying in jail.
What do you suppose?" was the
query a well-known German citizen
addressed to a representative of the
Morning News, following it up in this
wise: There is a man in Jail, John
F. Meyer, who would rather stay there
than pay his fine. The remarkable
feature about it is that he is well off.
THE other day some Germans came
to me and said something about help
ing Meyer, He has been convicted of
keeping his barroom open on Sunday
some time a5c. when the Law and Or
der League was making it so warm for
offenders. He was convicted, but a new
trial was sought, and he was out I'M
der bond until about two weeks ago,
when he was sent to Jail under SEN
tence of a $3.50 fine or six months in
Jail. The new trial hadn't cleared
him.
When my friends talked to me
about helping Meyer 1 thought would
look up his standing. I found in the
city treasurer's Office that he returned
$1,000 worth of real estate for taxation.
This is in his own name, too, and II
is really worth at least $4,000. He
is in Jail, though, and he says he would
just as soon stay there. He is out of
the bar and grocery business now, and
has nothing to do.
The funny thing about It to me is
that Meyer isn't very well. He went
to Europe some time go for his health.
There he Is, though, cooped up in jail,
and he doesn't think enough of his lib
erty to pay $3.50 for it,"
When the property returns of Meyer
were discovered the movement on his
behalf fell through. The Germans who
were disposed to help have concluded
that he is plenty able to help himself.

STEP UP AND SETTLE.
Ellsworth Tax Collector Has to Given Dale. Of
Bondsmen Must Pay.

Ellsworth. Me. Jan. Written
statements which have been submitted
10 the city council show that the tax
collectors Of this city have very nearly
met the requirements imposed upon
them by the vote taken by the council.
Dec. II last, and further extension of
three days has been granted them to
make up the balance required. At the
same time. vote was passed requir-
ing the collectors to turn in $4,000 on or
before Feb. /. If they fail to do this
the city will proceed against the col
lectors' bondsmen.
For a number of years the amount
due the city in unpaid taxes had been
steadily growing larger. and early last
fall the city government decided to
take steps looking to the collection of
this money.
The collectors were notified that I'M
less a certain amount of money was
turned in to the city treasury before
given date. the collectors and their
bondsmen would be held responsible
and the city would look to them for
settlement. Up to this time several
votes Of this kind have been passed,
and with good effect. At the same time
there are hanging over two of the col
lee tors distress warrants which will
come due early in February.
Cnder these warrants the collectors
property may be attached and if this
fails to satisfy for the amount of taxes
due. the collectors may be lodged in
Jail The stringent measures adopted
| by the board have resulted in the col
lection of a considerable amount in
back taxes and many tax deeds.
Today. suit was entered by the city
in the supreme court as n test case for
the collection of sewer assessments.
| Three years ago the city built sewer
through certain streets and made a
special levy on abutting property. Few
of these assessments have been paid
and the property owners now agree to
abide by the decision in the test case
which has just gone before the court.
