OFFICIAL At LANSING
VIOLATES CITY RULES
Alderman Causes Arrest of Fire
and Police Board
Members.

LANSING, Mich, July 2S.-A war
rant was issued for Hiram Rikerd,
member Of the Lansing police and fire
board, and general manager OF a large
Lansing. lumber company, charging
him with violation of the city charter
in selling lumber to the city. The war
rant, which had been requested by Al
derman Jacob Ferle, was sought I'M
der a charter provision which prohib-
its city officials from being interested
in a contract with the city.
Ferle sought a warrant some time
ago, but issuance of the document
was held up pending the outcome of
a civil proceeding started against the
Rikerd Lumber Co. To determine
whether a purchase by the city with
no written agreement involved, was
a contract. Judge West. in circuit
court, held that such a deal is a con-
tract, and Ferle then renewed his re-
quest for a warrant.
On Lansing's various boards and
commissions are some 90 business
,men whose firms have dealings with
the city, and if Rikerd is found gull
ty. it is possible they all Will resign
Immediately, as conviction for viola
tion of the charter clause in question
also provides forfeiture of office Such
action, it is believed, would paralyze
the city government.
Ferle explains that there is animus
in his action. He contends. however,
that the city charter must be obeyed.

TREASURERS MUST PAY
SPECIAL COLLECTORS
of Such Employees Must Not
be Met out OF County Treasury
Says Judge Elchhorn.

WARSAW, Ind, July 2e.-Perhaps
the first application of a new law was
made in Warsaw when judgment
against the HugrO Manufacturing Co.
was awarded TO Charles Ward for
S34.3S. Ward, a former employe of
the HugrO company, resigned and de-
manded his pay, amounting to S4.89.
The HugrO company failed 10 settle
promptly and Ward filed suit under
the 1915 statute which provides that
when an employe voluntarily quits or
is discharged, all wages due him must
be paid within y hours. The law
further provides that in case of failure
on the part Of the employer to pay
within that time, the emplOye shall be
entitled TO full pay for all days until
such payment is made. The case was
tried before Justice OF the Peace Ben
nett. 1t is probable that the case Will
be appealed TO make test of the new
law.

FIRST CASE UNDER NEW
LAW TRIED AT WARSAW
Former EmplOye of Hugro Company
Allowed Pay For Each Day Back
Wages Are Held.

MUNCIE, Ind. July %. County
commissioners and county treasurerS
have no right in this state TO employ
at public expense special persons TO
collect delinquent taxes and if such
persons are employed their fees must
be paid out of the salaries and other
emoluments of the county treasurers,
according to a decision announced in
circuit court recently by Judge w II.
Eichhorn of the Wells Blackford cir
cult court, sitting as special Judge
here in the case of the state on rela-
ton OF John u. Lee, a taxpayer,
against former County Treasurer
Ralph Clark, Lafayette Mansfield, a
tax collector, and four county commits
sioners
The court held the taxpayers of the
county were entitled TO recover from
Clark and Mansfield the full amount
paid out OF the treasury TO Mansfield
for collecting delinquent taxes over a
period Of one year, this amounting to
$2,92S.56, together with interest of
S966.35 and attorneys fees Of $1,000.
The decision OF Judge Eichhorn is
regarded as being of wide interest
throughout TIE state, because in many
counties, so l. is said, il has been Gus
tomary to employ special tax collect
OrS to handle the cases Of delinquents.

titled TO do by law. Judge Eichhorn
held the collector of delinquent taxes
in this case was in effect a deputy
treasurer, since he was acting through
authority of the treasurer and under
his direction. and therefore should
have been paid by the treasurer.
