Sheriff Wants to Live Up to Law
Omitted Tax Raise.

Frankfort.-In order to make some
arrangement with the state officials by
which he can renew his bond as sher-
i'll without being held to the strict let
ter OF the law, A. NJ. Emler, sheriff of
Jefferson county, was in Frankfort
with Scott Bullitt, county attorney.
Frank p. James, state auditor, told Mr..
Emler that the state officials would
work out some satisfactory solution Of
the problem, which is a novel one.
The trouble Is caused by the action
to prevent the raise in the assessment
of the property in Jefferson county.
This suit was brought by citizens of
Louisville and was hung up for some
time in the courts. In the meantime
the sheriff collected taxes, without the
IL per cent increase.
When the courts held that the raise
was legal it became necessary for the
sheriff to collect the increase from all
the taxpayers. He can not do this
now in time to get his quietus and
give new bond as the law requires.
The auditor said 1t was an unusual
case. but arrangements would be made
so that Mr.. Emler could give his bond
and go on with his duties.
