Suit Against City.

mont Clifford tax ferret, was here
yesterday morning searching for n
special line of evidence to be used in

Attorney Meek wanted certified
copies of the assessment blanks fill
ed out by holders of property which
Clifford listed for taxation under the
head of seguestered taxable property.
Attorney Meek wanted TO show by
these assessment blanks that the
property in question had not been lis

that Clifford placed it upon the dupli-
cate.
Deputy Newlin and Attorney Meek
spent several hours in the record

looked as ii they had been hunting
rats under a barn. The desired
blanks were found, however, and GER
titled copies were provided the attol-
ney.

'RUMORS OF A BIG
TRACTION MERGER
1t is Said that Eastern Capt.
taIiStS Have Their Eyes en-
This State.
NEW LINES SOUGHT FOR
PROPOSED NEW CASTLE AND
RICHMOND BRANCH WOULD
BE AFFECTED If PROPOSED
DEAL GOES THROUGH.
NEW LINES SOUGHT FOR

Indianapolis, Dec. 81, (Spl.)-In
there is a rumor that negotiations
are on for the purchase of the new
independent lines being built by the
Indianapolis, New Castle & Toledo
Electric Railway Company and the
indianapolis, Charlottesville & West
ern Traction Company by third and
outside interest, which would consol-
idate the two roads on their compile
tion and thereby have an east-and-
line extending entirely across the
State.
The Indianapolis-New Castle line
extends from this city to New Castle,
with branches from that point TO
Richmond, Winchester and Muncie, a
fourth branch from Shirley to Ander-
son and a fifth branch from Maxwell
to Greenfield. 1t is also projected
east from Winchester to Toledo, o.
The Indianapolis, Charlottesville &
Western has Danville, H., for its ter
minus, SO a merger of the two roads
would give a line from the western
boundary of Indiana through Indiana
polls to the eastern boundary. At
Danville the Indianapolis and Craw-
fordsville line will connect with the
Mckinley traction syndicates in Illi-
nois, so the proposed merger would
unite electric systems in Ohio, Indi-
ana and Illinois.
Easterner Examines Lines.
The rumor followed a visit to this
city of an Easterner, who spent a
week here examining the two roads
under construction and the traction
terminals in Indianapolis. He talked
with many electric line men and
noted down his observations, but con-
fided in no one, so far as is known,
relative to the mission that brought
him f1ere Nfcn who talked with him
declare that they do not know whom
he represents or in what capacity he
was here. His name is also with
held, although he is described as hav-
ing the personal appearance of one
able to buy traction road il he
should see fit to do so. He kept to
him self for the most part during his
stay here, and made his business
calls to the Offices in the Traction
Terminal building brief and formal.
A deal of speculation was INDUCED
in relative to the man. because of the
mystery which attended his mission.
Several days after the stranger
had given up his room at the Clay
pool Hotel it was rumored that he
had been here for the purpose of as
certaining the feasibility of buying
the two lines named. 1t was intimat-
ed to that he was associated with
financial interests not hostile to the
Allis- Chalmers company, which
builds traction roads and equips
them. 1t may be, however, that this
intimation springs from the fact that
the Allis-Chalmers company is aiding
in the construction of the two roads.

APPROP RATION ON
THE SECOND VOTE
County Council ReCOnSidored
Matter of Fighting M. ".
Lacey'S Suit.
THE VOTE STOOD 5 TO I
ATTORNEY ROBBINS EXPLAINED
TO THE COUNCIL THE DETAILS
OF THE IMPENDING LITIGATION
FINE POINTS OF LAW.

The Wayne County Council at it's
session yesterday afternoon took
second try" at the proposition to ap-
propriate $3.50 for the defense fund
of the county in the case of Major NJ
NJ. Lacey against the county for fees
which he alleges are due him as n tax
ferret. At previous session the
council failed to appropriate the nee
essary money because of a lack of
legal majority. Yesterday all mem
bers with the exception of Asa Pitts
ate the sum asked for by the county
commissioners, with the exception of
j. c. Fulghum, who again voted
against it.
County Attorney John F. Robbins,
who was present, explained 10 the
council the details of the impending
action by Lacey against the county,
and said that the county was not op-
posing Major Laceys claim for any
that legally the county had no right
to allow it. 'If Major Lacey really
performed a service for the county,
said Attorney Robbins, land such SER
cice could be deemed legal, then the
county should pay for it. There are
some fine points of law involved in
|,
be shown to Judge Macy, who will
hear the case, that the county's con-
tention is right and that no fees are
due Major Lacey. The stock in The
Morrisson-Plummer Drug Company
of Chicago, which is involved in this
case, was not listed for taxation, but
there are assessment blanks preserved
to show that the administrator of the
MORRISON estate had not sequestered
such stock, but to the contray, had
written on the assessment blanks
that such stock was held but that
from legal opinions rendered the ad
ministrator, such stock was not TAXA
BILE in Wayne county. The existence
ty taxing officers and the only ques-
ton involved was as to its being le
gally taxed in Wayne county. The
county contends that Major Lacey, in
placing this stock on the duplicates
was merely doing what tl1s county Of
ficers would have done anyhow. UE-
der the contract with Major Lacey, it
was specified that he should not make
returns on property found in Wayne
county. The county makes the addi-
tional contention that the stock which
Major Lacey did list was in reality
not sequestered, but its existence was
known to the assessors and other tax
ing officers, and it was only because of
the question involved as TO whether
such property was taxable. that pre-
vented it from being listed previous TO
Major Lacey's work. The whole
question involved as relative 70 the
law on the ssbject If Major Lacey's
claim is legal, all right, but if not, the
has no right to pay it.
Major Laceys contention, it is said,
will be that the stock in question had
escaped taxation because of the failure
of county officers to list it; that ne
did list it, and that the taxes upon it
were paid for the period extending
back several years during which time
it had not been offered for taxation in |
this county, and that therefore it was, |
in the meaning of the law, se1ues |
tered.
