'LYNHURST FIGHT
is STIRRED BY
ADDITIONAL TAX
Residents Are Irate Over
Levying of Special
Assessment.

Levying Of special tax assess
ment against residents of the town
OF Lynhurst to pay of a debt said
TO have been unwittingly incurred
two years ago by Ernest Kellogg,
dethroned mayor, must be repeated
this year when the town board
meets Tuesday to draw the 1881
budget, the officials said today.
Already irste at paying an extra
so cents on each 500 of taxable
property to pay of $500 note exc
cuted by Kellogg in an improve
ment' campaign, at least ten fam
lies have threatened to vacate the
town if the assessment is raised
above so cents to hasten payment
Of the obligation.
Made Satisfactory Showing
The corporate limits of the town
include fourteen acres more area
than prior 10 the annexation.
AS result of the difficulties, the
state board of accounts was called
to examine the financial condition
of the town, and to obtain from
Kellogg an explanation of what be-
came Of $500 he obtained through
executing a bank note.
, Kellogg made a satisfactory show
ing Of the disposition of the funds,
despite claims of residents that the
money never was used according to
original plans.
Forced TO Renew Note
Floyd Newton, secretary to the
ex-mayor, is said to have stated
publicly the money never was &C
counted for in town records.
Town board members, with Don
Brannigsn as chairman, will be
forced to renew the note this year
at their own risk. Suit was threat
'ened by the bank unless the debt
was settled or the note renewed,
residents say.
Originally, residents claim, KEEL
logg failed to provide for payment
of the note in the town budget. It
now rests with taxpayers to Shout
der the obligation, although they
realized no benefits from the money,
it is claimed.

FROM TRIAL BOARD

Brought as Result of
Vice Squad Raid.

ACQUITTED SERGEANT
Bride Advises Superintendent
Against Pressing Action, in View
of Directed Ruling.

The charge of illegal entry on which
Sergt. Oscar j. Letterman, former head
of the Police Departments vice squad,
was to have been tried before the Police
Trial Board, has been Withdrawn by
order of Mai Henry G. Pratt, super
intendent of police. The charge grew
out of a raid made by the vice squad
April 8 on the apartment Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Eleck Harmon in the 1900 block
of S street.
The Harmons swore out a warrant
for Letterman's arrest and he was tried
in Police Court last Wednesday. The
result of the trial was directed verdict
of not guilty.
Mai. Pratt said that Corporation
Counsel William w. Bride advised him
Saturday that, since the action OF the
court, it would be impossible to main
tain a prosecution against the wee
squad leader before the trial board.
Since Mr.. Bride has charge Cf prose-
cutions, Mai. Pratt said that there was
nothing to do but to withdraw the
charge. He notified Mrs. Harmon that
it would not be necessary for her to old
herself in readiness to testify.
Shortly after the complaint Of the
Harmons, Letterman was transferred
from leadership of the vice squad to a
post as uniform sergeant in the first
precinct. No order has been issued re-
believed that none will be issued.
Letterman is eligible for promotion to
a lieutenancy July !, and this would
automatically remove him as a candi-
date for command of the vice squad,
which always is headed by sergeant
The squad at present Is under the COM
mand of Richard j. Cox.
