TREASURER TO
GET PROFITS
DESPITE EDICT
Clyde Robinson to Make
Collections Himself
for Big Fee.
DoDGES NEW RULING
Decides He'll Not Choose
Aid for Delinquent
Accounts.

County Treasurer Clyde e. Robin
son has found a way to get back at
least some of the thousands of dol
lars of personal profit lost when the
Legislature stopped county treas
urers from pocketing interest from
Barrett law fund deposits, it was
learned today.
Robinson announced that he will
handle delinquent tax collection
himself this year, rather than share
the profit by appointing a collector
Ordinarily the fees from back tax
collection amounts to about 100000
o year.
The delinquent tax collector, by
law, gets on a contract a percentage
Of the amount collected for fees and
mileage.
Law Aids County @
The 1927 Legislature spoiled the
Barrett law plum for the Marion
County treasurer. For a score of
years the county treasurers had
kept all the interest collected on
Barrett law deposits. Sometimes
this amounted to more than $780,
900 a year. The last General AS
sembly legislated this interest into
the public treasury.
The law provides that $1.50 per
delinquent taxpayer may be col
lected, plus 10 cents a mile mileage
fee. Contracts with collectors in
the past, have divided this profit.
the collector defraying expenses of
collection.
Estimates Gain at $4,000
Estimates of costs of collections
vary, Robinson claiming it will cut
the $4,000 by almost half. The
$4,000 remaining will be in addition
to his salary for 1923.
j. D. Henderson who held the
contract in 1927 is working under
Robinson in preparing for the COL
lections, on a salary basis, as are
other extra employees.

be said that business is good be-

BRULE, Wis, June 16.-The Pres

To the rest Of the United States
that may not carry an unusual
significance, but to the 3o2 resi-
dents Of Brule the day of Mr.. Cool
idge's arrival was something Of in
f1nitely more Importance than the
Fourth Of July, Washington's birth
day or the weekly band concert
night.
Less than a month ago Brule was
unknown. Today a million persons
were debating its proper pronunci-

rhymed with school. It's real estate

President Coolidge came to Brule,
the town nearest the summer White
House of 1928.
Villagers Thrilled
The few residents of Brule are not
concerned with the fact that Mr..
Coolidge spent less than two
minutes in the hamlet's unin-
corporated limits, that he did not
leave the motor car which crawled
along its main street at a snail's
pace, and that Mrs. Coolidge did
not come to Brule at all. It is
enough that the President came to
Brule, and thus Brule is satisfied.
The 302 residents turned out in
full force. Babies stood with their
hands in their mouths. their fathers
stood with their hands in their
pockets, and Brule's younger feni-
nine set quarreled as to the exact
shade of the Presidents hair.
Anyway, Brule waved its hand at
President Coolidge, and then began
touching up main street and erect
ing more concession stands across
from the railroad shed.
Leaky Church Repaired
Allen T. Colder, who saw that the
leaky roof of the church was re-
shingled, paced In front of Webster's
Hotel with the beatiflc Solemnity Of
one whose work Is well done.
Henry Denny, restauateur, stacked
up three dozen thick coffe cups and
waited for patrons. Mrs. A. j. Webs
ter speculated on possible rentals In
her spacious 10-room house.
The fact that President and Mrs.
Coolidge were some six miles away
at Cedar Island Lodge, resting from
the fatiguing train journey from
Washington, and that Mr.. Coolidge
already was casting his line into the
Blue River, caused hardly a flutter.
The fact that the President would
pass along Main street again today
en- route to his executive Offices at
Superior, however. did cause q
flutter.
Crowds began to collect about the
three town pumps, talking excitedly.
Presidents do not parade along the
main street of Brule every day.
Meanwhile, at Cedar Island Lodge,
Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge were getting
settled comfortably in their wood
land home The President was well
pleased with the peaceful one-story
house, cool and fragrant with lilacS.

BU United Press
HARBOUR GRACE, N. F., June
16.-The flight Of the transatlantic
airplane Columbia, in which Miss
Mabel Boil will be a passenger,
probably will be to France, it was
indicated today.
Weather conditions today were
unfavorable for the transatlantic
take-off, but all members of the
Columbia's crew felt certain they
soon would be away on the fight.
Miss Boil particularly was one of
the most eager of her flight party.
"I entertain no doubt that I will
be the first woman to cross the At
lantic by airplane, but in no sense
do I regard this as competition with
the Friendship" Miss Boil said.
Capt. Oliver c. Leboutillieer said
he had the greatest sympathy with
the Friendship, inasmuch as it had
a speed of only about 80 miles an
hour, whereas the Columbia can
travel about 10 miles an hour.
