Ensley. August 1O.-(special) )-The let ter of Father Paul Klich, the Polish priest stationed in Ensley which was published in The Age-Herald today, caused consid- erable comment. and brought forth the following signed statements:
 To. the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In this mornings Age-Herald, Father Klch gives out an interview in refer ence to how foreign labor is being treat ed in Ensley In reply to his interview, l wish to say that no foreigner has been arrested for street tax in Ensey; that ho man has paid street tax more than once this year; that every man who has paid street tax has gotten a receipt; that the police officer to whom he has reference in his article is not an official of the city of Ensley, but Is road tax warner. It has been the policy of the city of flcials of Ensley to work in harmony with the corporations ever since I have been connected with It. This statement can be verified by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, Southern Steel company, Semet-Solvay company, Empire Plow company. Very respectfully,
 D. F. SUGG, Mayor To the Editor of The AgeHerald:
 In The Age-H Herald of Saturday, August 10, 1967, I note an article headed, For cigners Badly Treated in Ensley," part of which is a letter signed by the Rev. Father Klich relating to the collection of road tax in this precinct. The statement is made in this letter that some foreign
 
 various sums ranging from $S to $16, and that no receipts have been given to the persons so compelled to pay these amounts. I am the only person authorized by the Board of Revenue to collect road tax in thls precinct (45), and hereby offer a reward of S25 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any per- son or persons collecting such tax without authority and in the manner above de- scribed by Father Klich.
 J. M. DONALDSON,
 N P. ex. off. J. P To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 On Friday July 5 1907, l arrested W. Kamienski on a warrant sworn out be- fore J. M. Donaldson, J. F., for road tax defaulter Mrs. Ortonska went on his bond. She having no property, 1 told her she would have to put up $2O for his ap pearance and sign the bond also. shel did so, and I released him to appear in court the next morning. He did not appear. l turned the bond and SEQ into court and the case is still pending. 1 wish to say the statement in The Age-Herald this morning Is false.
 WALTER HAMES. To the Editor of The Age-Herald;
 In Saturday mornings issue of The Age Herald In an article by the Rev. Paul Klich, I want to make statement as to my connection with the whole affair. 1 have never collected one dollar from any one for road tax, as l have absolutely nothing to do with it. In reference to the S2o claimed to have been taken l merely issued a warrant against the party accused of having taken 1t, as was my duty, and l did my best to get the money for them But as the case was not In my court and the warrant not executed. I had nothing further to do with 1t. The s20 was never paid to me nor do I know what became of it.
 JAMES ERODE.
 Justice of the Peace.
