Rebate TAX PAID
FOR R00MER'S CAR
Bristol Councilman Straiehten
Out Unusual Error on Record
Especial to the Herald)

Bristol. Dec. Sax Collector
Frank B. Riley often experiences
considerable difficulty in collecting
certain taxes. but rarely does he
have case where someone pays an
others bill without becoming aware
of the fact until several years later.
Yet such case did happen and in
consequence the party paying the
bill in error presented a request that
the amount involved be related,
In July. 1929. a party named Wal
ter Ryan arrived in the city in a
automobile. The car was entered in
his name on the grand list and sub
sequently bill for S7.S5. to cover
the tax. was mailed to him at his
address. l07 Wall street. where he
had rented room from Mrs. Mar
garet E. Wall. When the bill arrived,
however. Ryan had left the city and
Mrs. Wall was also absent on a two
months vacation. Before leaving.
Mrs. Wall left her affairs in charge
Of a housekeeper, whom she in
structed to pay all bills during her
absence. Accordingly when Ryan's
bill arrived. the housekeeper, with
out noticing Ryan's name on the in
voice took it to the tax collectors
office and paid for it out of funds
provided by Mrs. Wall. The error
was not discovered by Mrs. Wall un-
til last Friday. when she went to the
tax collectors office and demand
ed rebate. Such action was beyond
the power of Mr.. Riley and he In
turn referred the matter to Mayor
w. Raymond Crumb, who presented
a letter from Mrs. Wall to the city
council last night. 1t was shown that
Mrs. Wall had never owned a Ford
car. but Tax Collector Riley could
not say who paid the bill because Of
the length of time which had
elapsed since the date of payment.
The council. while it expressed the
opinion that it would be within its
rights to deny the request OF Mrs.
Wall. voted to rebate the amount IN
question and charge it back to the
account of Mr.. Ryan, who left the
city in October, 1922. and whose
present whereabou is unknown.
