Miners Deny Shooting

Editor The star I would like 70
have this statement printed IN your
valuable paper. The Times has
printed a earbled report o. the min
ers' demonstration NJ Bayne on the
lst OF April. giving the impression 60
the public that tho miners are
lawlcss set. which IL without foun.
dalton 4 finer or more orderly
gathering could not be desired. with
tho exception Of two youths who had
imhihed too much squirrel whisky.
and they were neither aided nor
abotted by the officials OF District 10
or tho rank and file. The Times also
stated that the miners fired shot
from rifle and wounded an en-.
ploye OF Mr. Bayne. which Is also
false and without foundation. and
will not be forgotten by the mem.
hers Of the United Mine Workers.
Respectfully. JAMES c. NORRIS.

City Council met in adjourned
session Tuesday night, Oct. 90.
Present: Geo. S. Stone, president;
Councilmen Ronntree, Hewitt
Chadwick and Pitt; the mayor,
marshal and city attorney. The
meeting was called to order by the
president aud the minutes of the
previous meeting were read and
approved.
On motion the following resolu-
tion was adopted:
"Whereas r. X. Whidden did
not receive title to his property
in Punta Gorda until August %,
1911, but was assessed full tax for
that year which is not in accord
ance with law.
Resolved that { of his tax for
the'ye 1911 as paid by him be
remitted, the amount being $14.4O,
and said sum of $l4. 40 TO apply on
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1913-11-06

namely the sum of $3.50, than tt
employ a lawyer to attempt t
save you that sum. If you shoult
pay the S3. so, ] will get the mu
nlhcent sum of thirty-tive cents,
which, of course, must be added
TO your tax. This IS cents you
could have saved by paying the
Collector any time during the
past summer.
You should know that the
method of collecting tax ON per-
sonal property is different from
that pursued in collecting. against
real estate. In most states tax
due on personal property is col
lected in the most summary man
ner, the collector simply seizing
the property and selling it without
q moments notice. The charter
OF this town provides that the
property shall be advertised Is
days before selling, by posting
notices in three public places.
This gives ample time for the de
Iinquent to raise the money. U.s.
ually the posting of these notices
is delayed until the last minute,
out of consideration for The debt
or.
The policy of this town has
been exceptionally lenient, so
much so that few people mis-
took leniency for inability to col
lect. The power to collect tax
in this town is exactly the same
as it is in any other town or city
in this state, and it has never been
denied or questioned with success.
So long as the assessment was reg
ularly made, no discrimination
shown and the rate within the linn
it allowed by law, there is not the
vestige of a possibility of defeat

Fishing Gazette: Torpedo fish,
known as electric" fish, recently
delayed the British freighter Ro-
chelle four days by attaching them
selves in thousands to the vessels
steel plates. This strange species
of the tropic seas, whose scientific
name is Tetronarce credentials,
has been endowed with minia.
tnre electric battery pair of
electric organs which lie between
the head and pectoral fins. 1t
grows ut maturity five feet long
and is capable of imparting severe
and numbing electric shocks, u
characteristic doubtless intended
for self-protection from other fish.
The steel liners of the tropics are
often impeded BY these electric
"torpedoes," which by magnetic
attraction arr held 10 the side
plates, often several layers thick.
The crew aboard the Rochelle said
they experienced pulling sensa-
ton at their feet when they walk
ed the deck. There is little doubt
that their story is true, rs several
thousand torpedo fish would create
a dynamic battery fully potential
enough to make itself felt. AS
soon us the ship left the Gulf
Stream and touched colder waters
the imprisoned barnacles were re-
leased and the vessel regained her
speed.

A Matter of Paying Taxes

EDITOR II ERALD, Sir:-Tho fol
lowing correspondence explains
itself:
Mr.. Town Attorney:-I got no
tice that you have ordered my
personal property levied on and il
is to be sold for buck taxes, but
saw an Arcadia lawyer and he
says you can't do it, SO You will
please remove the levy and not
sell my stuff. Respectfully
Mr.-:-You are informed
that the levy cannot be released
and that the sale will take place on
the date mentioned in the notice
unless you redeem the property
before that time. Iregret, deeply,
that any such action is necessary,
and | trust that you will be able to
pay the tax without the increased
expense incident to sale. The
Town Council has instructed me
to proceed, legally, to collect all
tax in arrears, and carry out its
instructions exactly as ! would the
instructions of any other client,
without discrimination in any ones
favor, but always with a desire TO
arrive at the end desired with the
least possibly expense to the de-
linquent.
At my own cost have sent
written notices to all in arrears,
and have made many personal
calls in order to save the delin-
quents the fees of the court and
deputy sheriff, whereas, if 1 had
proceeded as many town attorneys
do, l could have sat in my Office
and issued summons through the
court. In st. Petersburg last
year, the city solicitor brought
500 suits in week, and charged
each defendant $1,000.
BY careful reflection in the day
time and deep cogitation while
tossing on your bed at night, and
through open discussion with diff
ferent members of your family,
you may possibly come to the
nomentous conclusion that il
would be better for you in the
long run to pay the Town OF Pun
"a 'Gorda the amount you owe,

ing the collection. An Injunction
to enloln the collection of a tax is
costly, snd is invariably dissolved
at the cost of the complainant.
When there has been an error, or
wrongful assessment, the collector
or the Council, willingly correct
it and there is no need of appeal
ing to the courts.
As no one can very well carry
away his land and thus defeat the
payment of taxes on it, the pro-
ceedure is, in charter towns to is
sue summons, obtain judgment,
and sell on execution. This is at
tended with much cost and fees, and
1t is to be hoped that not a single
case need be brought in this town.
Everyone knows that among the
sure things in this life are death
and taxes, and it is wise plan to
be prepared to meet either when
it comes. Respectfully,
Town ATTORNEY.
