This Results From Listing Lo-
cal Property of the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire Com
pany, Chicago.
MATTER OVERLOOKED -
BY The ASSESSORS
Secretary of Big Concern Fur
nished Clue by Writing to
Officials to Supply Some
Information.

The Wayne county treasury will be
enriched to the extent Of $1,000 ap-
proximately as 4 result of the listing
for taxation of personal property held
in Richmond by the American Steel &
Wire Co., of Chicago. The Elliott &
Reid Co., manufacturers of woven wire
fence is the manufacturing agent of
the big Chicago corporation, and all
raw material (wire) that is used by
the Richmond concern is in reality
owned by the American Steel & Wire
Co. This also is true of the finished
product of the Elliott & Reid CeH. the
entire output being the property Of
the Chicago concern, which owns a
ware house adjoining the fence COM
pany plant.
Both last year and this year during
the period of taking assessment of
personal property, the American Steel
4 Wire Co.. was missed by the assess
ors. due to the erroneous belief that all
raw material and the finished product
belonged to the Elliott & Reid Co.
Requested a List.
Some weeks ago A. T. Allen, secre-
tary of the big trust wrote to ascertain
whether the taxes Of the American
Steel & Wire Co. had gone delinquent
for 1908, and the discovery was then
made that the listing OF it's property
had not been made. The county off,
GERS informed Secretary Allen Of the
circumstances and requested that he
list all property held by his company
in Richmond On March 1, 1908, and
March 1, 1909. Blank schedules were
forwarded the company and with ex-
arriving this forenoon.
The company made an aggregate re-
turn of approximately $4,000 for the
two years. $1s.991 being the listed val
uation for 1903. and S21 OH for 1909
For 1909 the tax that the company
will pay to Wayne county will be
S512.73, and though the rate for 1909
Is not made. basing 1t on this years
rate the tax will be 1867.
A Striking Contrast.
The attitude Of the American Steel
& Wire company in calling attention
lJSC1A " luC IdCl ludl IL udu not pdlO
its taxes due Wayne county is in strik-
ing contrast to the conduct of some
other corporations that have in years
past held property in Richmond for a
greater or less period. One of them
in particular is not held in high es-
TEEN by the county taxing officers
The company in question was not list
ed for a period OF several years. and
when the county made the discovery
and asked the company to list its prop
erty it declined on the ground that ii
had no way of telling what it owned
on March l Of the respective years.
Whereupon the county taxing officers
listed the property and made demand
for the taxes While the matter was
in controversy the company withdrew
from Indiana and the tax has never
been paid The only method of col
lecting it would be to bring suit in
the state in which the company's
headquarters are located and the ex-
pense attached probably would ex
ceed the taxes that could be collected

In the first place the bureau of cor

OBJECTIONS RAISED
TO THE ARRANGEMENT
Objection to Making Lincoln

One Chief Miller Differs
With Won Pein.

In order that the west side may
have fire department and that nee
essary changes may be made In the
city building in order that the city
light plant office may be located
there. Councilman Won Pein. at the
council meeting last evening. urged
that the No. fire company. now sit
uated at the city building. be trans
ferred to West Richmond when the
hose house on the Lincoln and West
Fifth street location is erected. He
advocated that there was little neces.
sity OF having the No. company.
Eighth and North D streets and the
No. 2 company 70 near together 9th
er councilmen discussed the question
but few thought 1t advisable to change
the No. department to West Rich
mond. There is a sentiment in coun-
Gil that the Lincoln and West Fifth
street location, recently purchased. 10
not desirable one. For this reason.
the construction Of q cheap building
which will supply the needs for the
immediate future is advocated.
Mr.. Won Pein recently secured q
map of the city and worked out the
question. He says that the Eighth
street company can easily protect the
territory now guarded by the COM
pany located at the city building.
District Grows Fast.
AS the west side is growing 10 rap
idly he. believes that provision for an
Other company viii have to be made
for that district in the next few years.
For the present. the transferring Of
the No. 2 company to West Richmond
would be sufficient. He advocated
the erection of q cheap building on
Lincoln and West Fifth street immed-
lately. He thinks that $1,000 would
be sufficient to construct q building
for immediate use.
The space at the city building va
Gated by the fire department could
then be used for the city light plant
office and the office of the city treas
urer could be changed to the ground
floor. Mr.. Won Pein said.

ment with motion that the board OF

The purchase of . steamer was ad-
vocated by several councilmen. These
members believed that the steamer
should be placed In the city building

discussion Of cisterns was also taken
up. Mr.. Deuker declared that they
