Sheriff Chains Up Cars
For Back Trolley Taxes
New Paltz Company Said to Owe
ST, 500, but Officials Will
Employ a LAWYER

POUGHKEEPSIE, n. Y. Feb. ga
Deputy Sheriff Harry Elliott has a
way of getting what he wants when he
wants it and decided if he couldn't
collect the long-due taxes of the New
Plats Railway Company in one way he
could in another.
To-day he went forth with All arm
full of OK chains and bound trolley
cars of the company to the company's
tracks. Two of the cars have been ad-
vertised for sale for nor-payment Of
taxes amounting to $500.
The railway company operates be-
tween the State Normal School at New
Platz and the Hudson ferry, here. Cars
are used in transporting passengers
from the ferry to the West Shore
Railroad station. Officials of the com
phny, when apprised OF what Sheriff
Elliott had done, said it struck them
as high-handed procedure end that
they would hire a lawyer at once.
