Clinton County's Attorney OPP
posing Suit Brought by
Wolfe e. Wolfe Law Firm
FINE POINT or LAW
A Decision for Plaintiffs Would Mean
That the Mulot Law Will be De.
olared Due at Beginning Instead Of
at Close of Each ouarter-DetaiIs Of
Litigation.
Special to Times Republican.


Clinton, July 19.--The outcome of the
case of Frank Hanrahan, clerk Of Wa
terford township, VS.. Charles Arlen.
treasurer of Clinton, will be awaited
with much interest, as 1t involves a
point of law which has not heretofore
been passed upon. The case is brought
by Wolfe e Wolfe, the senior member
Of which firm was for many years dis
trict Judge in this county.
The mulct law has always been col
lected after each quarter in Clinton
county, and Messrs. Wolfe & Wolfe
hold that the tax should be collected in
advance, and base the action brought
against the country treasurer on this
theory. In the township Of Waterford
town named Charlotte was incorpor-
ated In the month of December. Two
saloons operated within the corporate
limits OF the town, and the plaintiff in
the suit filed in the Clinton district
court for action at the next term
claims that the revenue for the last
three months OF the year 1904, which
went to the newly incorporated town,
should have gone to the township, In
asmuch as there was no corporation
within the township at the beginning of
the quarter when, according to Wolfe
& Wolfe, the mulct tax was due and
collectible in advance.
County Attorney e. l.. Miller states
that he will oppose the suit to the
last, holding that the mulct tax liz not
due until the end OF each quarter, when
1t has always been collectible. When
Mr.. Miller entered upon his duties as
states attorney in Clinton county, he
placed every liquor dealer in the coun-
ty under $4,000 bonds to protect the
county from pecuniary loss by reason
of the abandonment Of business by
liquor dealers who took advantage Of
the fact that the mufct law was not
collected until the end Of each quar-
ter, and disseminating business before
the authorities had an opportunity OF
making collections.
Should Attorneys Wolfe & Wolfe be
successful in the action now pending
in the district court, and the mulct
tax be declared due at the beginning
of each quarter instead OF at the end
thereof, heavy penalties and interest
will be due the county from the hum
dreds Of liquor dealers who have been
operating within the county limits for
many years, and who have been pay
ing their mulct taxes after each quar-
ter. Wolfe & Wolfe ask that a man
damus issue. compelling Treasurer Ar
len to turn over to the township OF
Waterford the amount of revenue al
legged to be due that township by reas-
on Of the operation of the two saloons
in Charlotte for the last quarter of the
year 1904.

the excess being $S44.40. For the two
years before that the board received
from certificates s3,247 and from diplo-
mas $45 The expenditures for the
same period were $2.193.Ss, leaving an
excess over expenditures of $l71.12.
The statute creating the board re-
quires that the expenditures shall not
exceed $4,000 for two years. The ex-
penditures for this biennial period APP
proaches within less than $500 of that
sum. In the course of time the legis-
lature may have to remove the limit.
The census department IS having not
all smooth sailing in the gathering OF
statistics from the cities and towns
OF the state. A little village out In the
state was communicated with for In
formation as to its paving, water
works, fire departments and other I'M
provements. For paving the blank was
filed in mud" and after each other
blank was written none" except for
the fire department and that was re-
corded as a bucket brigade In the
blank for remarks the city official
complained that no stamps had been
sent even for returning the blank and
asked where his pay was coming from
for all the work in looking up the in
formation.
Captain Thomas Longshore, chief OF
the state house police, has been off
duty from sickness for the past week
or more, but will probably be back to
work in few days.
Because Of the large amount or work
on hand and the necessity of getting
the assessment adjusted by August
the limit of the law, the executive
council had to hold an extra session
last night to carry on the work and
there will probably be other night ses-
sions as we'll. Secretary OF State w.
n. Martin yesterday set an example to
the rest Of the members OF the council
by leaving off his coat and appearing
at the council meeting in his shirt
sleeves. He declared that the work OF
assessing railroads was too much IKE
hard work to be done with a great
deal of attention being given to cere-
mony and his suggestion was quickly
followed by other members OF the
council.
