in Hands Of ex-Constable Sails.


The regular meeting of the board of
| aldermen was held Tuesday night and a
small amount of routine business was
transacted. The most interesting feature
of the evening was the action taken rela-
tive to ex-Constable Hoyt e. Sails. At
the last meeting of the board Mr.. Sails
was ordered to pay the amount of UNI
collected taxes charged to him or furnish
to the board list Of such taxes the
names of those owing the taxes and
| the time they had been carried. This Mr..
Sails failed to do but few days ago
furnished a list to the city treasurer The
list was so incomplete and inaccurate,
however, that ii was again placed in Mr..
Salls's hands. Last night when the board
convened Assistant Clerk Dow was sent
to Mr. Sails to ask him to appear before
| the board. Mr.. Sails said that Treasurer
Grant had a list and Mr. Dow SO reported
to the board. Communication was had
with Mr.. Grant and he appeared before
the board ard stated that no list had been
filed with him by Mr.. Sails. Chief
Brownell was then asked to send an Of
ficer after Mr.. Sails but an investigation
at his place of business and at his home
failed to locate him and his presence could
not be secured. The board then passed a
resolution instructing the city clerk to
notify Mr.. Salls's bondsmcn of the state
of affairs. The bondsmen are j. j. Flynn,
Van A. Nye and George G.. Munson.
