Says Robert Imrie, Town Of
Lake George Counsel.


LAKE GEORGE, Oct. 31.-Records Of
Warren county, of which this town is
the county seat, show that Irwin Inter
myer was not assessed here on personal
property for the years 1915. 1917 and
1918.
In the years 1917 and 1918 a man
assumed to be Untermyer was regis
tered in the town of Horizon. The
name appears on the books as Erwin"
Untermyer, but no one else of a SINH
lar name lives in Horizon.
But Mr.. Untermyer did not vote in
any of these years.
II was on the ground that his resi-
dence was in Warren county that MIR.
Untermyer swore off the personal gas
sessment of $4,000, which was levied
against him in New York city in the
fall Of 1916. But he paid no personal
taxes in Warren county that year. nor
in the two years following.
In the year 1917 Mr.. Untermyer was
not placed on the personal assessment
OF the fact that his residence had been
given under oath the year before as in
Warren county In the year, 1918, how
ever. an assessment of $4,000 was
placed on the New York city books.
This was cancelled on the contention of
Mr.. Untermyer that there were debts
enough to offset the assessment
The registration books of the town of
Horizon for 1915 have not been kept and
II is impossible to find out whether Mr..
Untermyer was registered in that year.
While Mr.. Untermyer pays no personal
assessment in Warren county, he does
pay taxes on two large pieces Of real
estate one OF them the farm that has
been referred to in speaking of Mr.. I'm
termyers interest in agriculture
In 1916 Samuel Untermyer convened
to his SON Irwin 800 acres of land on
Brant Lake, which is a show place
formerly owned by David G.. Yuenglng,
Jr An assessment of $4,000 aruears
on the tax books against this property.
The farm in the rear of this, which
comprises 620 acres. is assessed for
$3.50.
Il understand Mr.. Untermyer's father
says he is a very fine farmer" said
Robert 1mrie. counsel for the town of
Lake George. to-day. But when he
comes to paying the bills at the end
or the year the farming is found to
be expensive"
1t Is from Mr.. Imrie that THE Sr,N
gets the information that Mr.. Inter
myer paid no personal taxes in Warren
county In the year that he swore Off
the New York city taxes on the ground
of residence in Warren county.
Mr. 1mrie said to THE sun corre
spondent:
L have made personal inspection OF
the assessment rolls of the town of
Horizon, now in the possession of the
County Treasurer. for the years 1916.
1917 and 1918. and Mr. Irwin INTER
myer is not assessed upon the roll of any
Of these years for personal property.
Il find that the registration books of
the town Of Horizon for the year 1916
have been destroyed, but 1 find Mr..
untermyer registered in the years 1918
and 1917 under the name of Erwin
Cntermyer. I fertilizer find that he did
not vote in either of these years
THE primary enrolment books for
the years 1916, 1917 and 1918. which have
been investigated by me, show that Mr..
Cntermyer is not enrolled OF course
the enrolment here in the country dis
tricts is made at the time of voting on
Election Day"
