noes COUNTY JAItER
owe CITY TAXES
Interesting Legal Question Rails
ed BY Refusal of Burgess
81 to List In Richmond

Is county official, living in the
Icity during his term Of Office, liza
bic for city taxes?
This novel question will un-
deubtedly have to be passed upon
! BY the courts, for County Jailer
Vim. Burgess, has refused to give
in a list or to pay city taxes in
Richmond. He takes the ground
that he is citizen of Madison
county, outside of the city, is in
town only temporarily during
term of office, and is not subject
to taxation in town. The point
is also made that Jailer Burgess
is not at present domiciled in the
city proper, for he lives in the jail
r&isience which is county proper
4 and situated on the court
house square which is also owned
by the county.
. The question came up before
kthe City Council Thursday night.
City Tax Collector Jesse. Dykes
reported that Mr.. Burgess refus-
ed to pay his city taxes for 1913.
City Assessor Trim Deatherage
reported that Mr. Burgess has de-
Slined to give in list for assess
n{ent, and that acting under or
der of the City Board of Tax Su-
pervisors, Burgess had been list
ed, as nearly correct as the board
was able to do.
. 1t seemed to be agreed that this
is nice point which will require
court construction. So upon mo-
ton of Councilman Vim. O'Neil,
the amount of taxes claimed by
the city from Mr.. Burgess will be
ABDUCTED from his bill for keep
ing city prisoners, and if he wants
to regain his tax money he will
have to bring suit. 1t was sug-
gested that the city pay Burgess
his bill and sue him for his taxes,
. ut by adopting the other method
burgess will be required to d.
Ihe- suing if he RECEIVERS his tax
money, and the courts hold that
he is not liable for taxeA in the
city.
A gentleman suggested that
Burgess case may prove to be
similar. to that of state and gov
ernment officials, who retain their
residence and pay their taxes in
%heir home towns and counties
and are not taxed for city pur-
poses because they happen to be
temporarily domiciled either in
Frankfort or Washington, hold
ing some official position.

Oh, You Reds

Those Cincinnati Reds are going
such great guns that we'll just have
to remind Col. Jack Ryder, Of the
Enquirer, of that promise of good
seat to the world series, that he made
us back in the spring of 1917 when
the Reds gave one of their morning
glory exhibitions that had the Blue
Grass Kentucky bugs standing on
their heads for a weeks. 1t does lock
like the Reds are going to cop the
pennant this time sure, and but for
the fact that Garry Herman has de-
clared that no reservations for worlds
series tickets viii be made until the
Reds are in, couple of hundred dy-
edin-the wool fans around here would
already have sent in the cash in or
der that they. might have ring side
seats for the big show the first week
in October.
