TAX QUESTION
BOBS UP AGAIN
New Law Gives City Right to
Levy Tax on NCn-PrOperty
Holders
ASSESSMENT BOARD
WANTS BACK TAXES PAID

Back taxes, new assessment and
other matters were discussed by the
members of the Board of Assessment
and City Tax Collectors Morris and
Sayers, at a conference held last
evening in the city tax office The
members of the assessment board
comprise President of Council Benson,
Col. Stover. chairman of the finance
committee Of Council. and Building
Inspector Cassidy.
Various matters pertaining to the
assessment for the next fiscal year,
work on which must soon be started,
and the collection of delinquent taxes
were thoroughly gone into, the ques-
tion of back taxes, however, taking
up much OF the evening.
Col. Stover pointed out that the
Board Of Assessment, under the new
law, passed by the last Legislature.
which was introduced in the House
by Representative Gormley. Of the
Fifth District, gave the Board Of As
.sessment much more authority than
# previously had. He showed the tax
collectors that heretofore the board
had only to do with the assessment
Of property, but under the new law,
the matter Of collections of taxes also
came under its jurisdiction. He ex-
planned that the city needed money
badly and that many thousands OF
dollars will have TO be gotten togeth-
er, above the figures set forth in the
budget prepared by the last finance
committee of Council for this year, for
the city to come out even at the end
of the present fiscal year. He urged
the collectors to use their best ef-
forts to collection as much Of the
outstanding taxes as possible.
He said he was certain there were
many persons who owed the city
money upon whom no hardship would
be imposed if the tax collectors in-
sisted on them paying the taxes they
owe. This Mr.. Gormley said, was
only for those who did pay their
taxes regularly.
City Solicitor Hastings was request.

SOME WILL GET
DOLLARS BACK

Philip L. Garrett, attorney for the
Levy Court, when asked today re-
garding the return of the registration
fee to individuals who registered with
the prothonotary, under the law pass
ed in 1909, said;
Those persons who voluntarily
registered their names with the pre-
thonotary cannot get the fee returned.
because such fee was paid under a
mistake in the law. In the case Of
persons who were arrested, and there
were about thirty such cases. the case
is different. They paid the registration
fee under protest and consequently
are entitled TO get their fee back from
tn Levy Court"
In all probability the law will be
so amended by the next Legislature
as to apply TO individuals as well as
TO firms.

MRS. SINCLAIR
TO FIGHT SUIT
Declares She Was Not Guilty
Of Misconduct With
Poet Kemp
LATTER TN KANSAS CITY
SAYS he MAS THE GOAT"

NEW YORK, Oct. 5-Meta Fuller
Sinclair. wife of Upton Sinclair,
author and socialist, yesterday ended
the rumors that she did not intend
to fight her husbands suit for ab-
solute divorce.
In her answer filed in Supreme
Court the woman who left her hus-
band in quest OF a perfect soul mate"
denies she has been guilty of any mis-
conduct with Harry Kemp, the tramp
poet or any one else. She intends
to defend the case bitterly.
Sinclair stirred public attention on
August "a by a public announcement
that he intended to sue his wife for
divorce because of her relations with
Kemp. He stated that his wife had
sent him a letter in which she clearly
indicated her affection for the poet
and that at the time of the announce
ment she was in Kemp's company in
New York.
Admitted a Friendly Regard.
Mrs. Sinclair admitted she had a
friendly regard for Kemp, but bore no
i'll will toward her husband. She
spoke of her action in leaving her
home at Arden, Del, thus
Mr.. Sinclair is an essential monogo-
mist, without having any of she
qualities which an essential monogo-
mist ought TO posses. One OF thess
qualities is that a monogomist ought
to be able to act the part Of a hus-
band; in other words, he ought to
have some time to devote to his wife.
IN other words, a husband who is a
monOgomist by nature ought TO be
able to occupy the attention Of mis-
wife 50 there should be none IF this
attention Of hers left for other men.
Harry Kemp and | are very con-
genial Our tastes are similar and
temperamentally we are much more
alike than are Mr.. Sinclair and my
self My friendship with Harry
Kemp I have pursued more conspicu-
ously than ny friendships with ether
men"
II Was the Coat. Said Kemp.

divorce proceedings caused Mre. Sin.
