xCLAIMS ARE
TAKEN I0coURT
FaeAs Surrounding Controyery Re
viewed in Bnl Filed By
County Treasurer

Bill Of interpleader fled In cir
cult court yesterday afternoon to
have the court determine legality
of claim Of taxes held by the coun-
ty treasurer for Rock Island and
South Rock Island townships. sets
up facts surrounding the contro-
versy.
It is shown that on June IA, 1921,
the city council Of Rock Island re-
quested that a new town be formed
to include that part Of South Rock
Island township lying within the
city limits. On Nov. 2, 1921, mo-
ton adopted by the board Of super
visors granted the request. This
action was rescinded on motion
adopted by the board of supervis-
ors granted the request. This ac-
ton was rescinded on motion
adopted by the board Jan. 26, 1922,
and a resolution was passed ex-
punging from the records the en-
tire proceedings having to do with
the formation Of a new township. On
April 4 an election to elect officers
for the purported new township
which proponents of the measure
claimed had been legally establish
ed by the initial action Of the
board, was held and William F..
Bradley was elected supervisor Of
the purpOrted new township. w. S.
Pate was supervisor. for South
Rock Island prior to the attempt to
form new a township and is still
acting as such supervisor. w. H.
Schillinger> was supervisor of the
original township Of Rock Island.
The bill further shows that it is
the duty of the county treasurer as
town collector to turn over to the
duly elected supervisor of the town
of Rock Island, the town tax as ex-
tended and collected in the town of
Rock Island and to the supervisor
of South Rock Island the town tax
and road and bridge tax. The sup
ervisor by virtue of his office is
the treasurer of the town tax fund.
Amount of taxes on hand for
Rock Island township is $4,3317S,
collected from the original town of
Rock Island. For South Rock Is
land the total includes $743.03 town
tax and $1,99493 road and bridge
assessments.
1t is set forth that Bradley, Schil-
linger and Pate claim they are en-
titled to receive the money, and
that Pate claims also that the new
town is nonresident. Treasurer
Richmond shows that he always
has been willing and still is will
ing to pay the funds to such per-
son or persons who should be law
fully entitled to receive them, and
to whom he could pay the money in
safety. The bill declares he has nc
other interest in the controversy
than to have the court award the
money and preclude the POSSIBLE
ity Of the claimants bringing the
matter into court themselves by
suit.
The court is asked to summon
the defendants into court and show
cause in support Of their respec.
tive claims.
