which the city employees are to do
the work y to S more than $500
then it Would be necessary to ad-
vertise for bids for the material
alone.
IL might add that all work done
must be on the basis of an eight
hour day and the wages must not be
less than the prevailing daily ate of
wages in this locality.
Respectfully,
FRANCIS r. COAN,
CITY Solicitor"
The city solicitor also venture1
his opinion on two other matters
which have been the cause of con-
siderable debate throughout the city
for several weeks, one bearing ON
iremen being exempt from Jury
duty, and the other whether or not
ex soldiers and sailors are exempt
from a $500 personal property as
sessment. The opinion of the city
solicitor meets with the hopes Of
those interested in both cases. With
regard to the $500 stipulation on
personal and real tax, Mr.. Coan
writes:
Chapter 276 of the laws of 1922
exempts from poll tax and an ag-
gregate of not to exceed $500 val
uation OF real and personal tax all
honorably discharged soldiers and
sailors on proper claim made there
for. This applies to service in any
war or rebellion and extends to the
WIDOWS of such soldiers and sailors
during their widowhood.
The clerk of the Supreme Court
advises me that so far there has
been no opinion filed holding uncon-
stitutional the tax act insofar as the
same relates to the exemption OF
soldiers and sailors
THE n in which the claim
must be made Is outlined in the tax
act and must be strictly followed"
With reference to the exemption
Of firemen from jury duty the solicit
tor states:
THE jury law, in that particular.
reads as follows: That any person
who has served seven years consec-
utively as a member of the fire de-
partment of any city of this state
which is authorized to organize and
control a fire department shall be
thereafter exempt from serving as a
Juror, providing he shall have filed
il the Office of the clerk of the
" in which he shall reside a certi-
ncate of such service, made by the
chief of such fire department or by
the city clerk of such city,
The act for the incorporation of
volunteer fire companies provides
tina. any person who shall have
served as a member of a fire COM
pany for a period of seven years
shall be exempt from serving as a
Juror, but that he shall not be en-
titled to such exemption unless he
has filed in the county clerks office
a certificate of such exemption. The
latter act is the later act and would
be likely the governing act"

FAKE HOLD-UP
SAY POLICE
Louis Pagnod at Richmond
Memorial With Fractured
Left Wrist

TOTTENvILLE, June Louis
Pagnod, thirty-three years old, of
Prince Bay Beach, is at the Rich
mond Memorial Hospital with a
fractured left wrist. which he says
he received when held up by four
unknown men at Wood nj and
Arthur Kill road early Monday
morning.
Pagnod walked into the Totem
vile police station about 2:45
o'clock that morning and told Lieu
tenant White that he had been held
up and robbed of $1,000 which he
had on his person, in ten 500 bills,
seven $50 bills and a hundred or
more in change. An ambulance was
summoned from the hospital and
DIR. McDonough after attending him
removed him to the hospital.
Pagnod says that he came in on
the last train arriving at Tottenville
at 2:14 and after getting off the
train at the Atlantic station started
to walk to the home of his brother,
Arthur Pagnod, in Lee venue He
said that he had come from Great
Kills. An investigation by Detec-
tive Sergeant Schley Of the case
has substantiated what the police
thought from the start that Pagnod
was not held up at all and that he
did not have $500. Through a
taxi driver 1t was learned that he
came in on the 1890 o'clock train
and hat he took him to the home
Of his brother, receiving no pay for
his trip. 1t was also learned that
ne was at Great Kills Sunday and
borrowed s12 from the man that he
worked for there.
He was at the home of his brother
early that morning, but failed to
mention anything about the hold-up
but did say that he was going to the
police station to have his arm fixed
up. The police are of the opinion
that he received the fractured wrist
in a fall and that the faxed hold
