BUSHELS OF TAXES
ARE PAID BY MAIL

The tax season for the payment
OF the 1910 taxes closed about .
O'Clock on Monday evening with a
very small percentage of the tax
payers going delinquent. The ex-
act amount collected has not yet
been determined, inasmuch as the
taxes paid by mail. have not been
recorded, but it is thought to have
been in the neishborhood of more
than two hundred thousand dol,
lars.
There are about eighteen bushels
of mail in the strong box of the
treasurers office which have not
yet been opened. The taxes paid
in this manner will be attended to
at once by the treasurer and his
deputies. now that the window busi-
ness is over. Those who went de.
llnquent will have to pay a delin-
quent fee of ten per cent. on the
entire amount of their 1910 taxes
and small fee to the treasurer.
The rush of Saturday and Mon
day. the last two opportunities to
make tax payments probably has
never before been equaled In the
county. The line at all times ex-
tended far out into the corridor on
the second floor.

Herbert Green, Before Coun-
Gil, Says Plan to Remove
Rigs from Alleys Is Wes-
sells Spite-work.
COUNTY BOARD WAS
OBJECT OF ATTACK
Councilman Engelbert Calls
Commissioners "a Bunch
of Nuts" and Several
Other Things.

Just after Councilman-at-large,
Harry Vessel had entered a complaint
in council, that the alleys of Richmond
were contested by dirty wagons. re-
ferring particularly to the alley back
of Herbert Green's livery stable on
South Ninth street, the liveryman de-
manded an opportunity to speak.
This was granted and he declared
Vessel had a grudge against him.
''Wessel called me a - - mig
ger driver" yelled Green. Il don't
blockade that alley. Every time l go
down Main street l have to drive out
on the street car tracks near Fifth
and Main streets, where Vessels mer-
chant delivery wagon is always stand
ing in the street. He hates me and
he's just takin' this chance to get
even."
Vessel Denies Spite.
Vessel then said that doctor on
South Tenth street complained to him
of the blockaded alley. Part of what
Green said l don't dispute" said Wes-
sci. but that's rot about spite work. !"
The congested condition of alleys
was referred to the board of works,
which may order an ordinance prepar-
ed to clear up the alleys. The fire
chief was ordered to investigate.
The ordinance committee presented
a bill, making it unlawful for any wa.
gon used for hire or delivering pur.
poses to stand on the Richmond
streets. excepting: South Fourth
from the east entrance of the court
house to South A street ION South A,
between Second and Third, and on
South Third from Main to A streets
The ordinance reads that the wagons
shall only stand on the side of the
street. nearest to the court house and
the lines of wagons may be only one
deep.
What the county commissioners and
other county officials will think OF
having their building surrounded by
drivers of express wagons. is a mat
ter of Indifference to council.
We'll take chance said the
mayor.
EnqeIbert's Attack.
At this point H. H. Engelbert. enter
ed and took his seat in council, sew
eral minutes late. He heard some one
say, county commissioners" 1t was
enough.
Well" declared the third wards
representative, look what a bunch oi
NUTS the commissioners are. They
are the cheapest people on earth.
Its a darned shame that we CAM
elect a commissioner from Richmond
when we have so per cent. of all the
voters"
Following the heated fling at the
commissioners by Councilman Engel
bert, Mayor Zimmerman. said that II
council failed to pass an ordinance
legal steps would be taken by the city
to remove the express and merchant
delivery men from the streets. In
functions will be gotten out If neces
sary. Many property owners have
complained.
On motion of Councilman Oscar
Williams, the ordinance took its regu
lar course. Expressions made o.
councilmen following the meeting
seem to make its passage certain.
