Carl Bervaldi Resigns
Guardianship Board OF
County Commissioners
Thompson To Fill I'm
expired Term; Other
Matters Taken Up At
Meeting Last Night

Carl Beryaldi, chairman
of the board of county COM
missioners, rendered his
resignation as chairman last
night. This to become eff
fective December 81.
Norberg Thompson was
elected to fill the unexpired
term from the date of the
resignation until the first
meeting after officers are
installed, January 3. At
that time, it is understood,
he will be formally elected
for the ensuing two years.
Bonds Approved
Bonds of Frank Ladd, $4,000,
for tax collector; Roy Fulford,
$4,000, county commissioner and
John England, $500, supervisor
of registration, were approved.
Bill of Raymond Maloney, tax
collector pro tenn, for one half of
one per cent on taxes collected,
was held over until a future meet
ing.
This bill is based on a law
which provides that on county tax
rolls which carry hess than S..
600, 900 the collector is allowed
one half per cent over the regular
one and one half per cent.
Al discussion arose as to the
Interpretation of the law. Az
torncy William ". Albury con-
tends that the collectors bin is
just. In this he is joined BY
State Auditor Pitman, new at
work ON the county books. They
both claim that the law intends
that the percentum is allowed on
the amount of taxes collectible.
Clerk Ross G. Sawyer believes
that the law means that il the tax
book shows more than $1,000, 900,
regardless OF how much has been
sold for taxes. this half per cent
should not be allowed.
II was finally decided that the
attorney write to the attorney
general and get his opinion on the
matter and the boards decision
viii be based on that. The amount
involved is approximately $4,000.
Applies For Position

from Captain ]. L. Watrous for

penditures, he win resign at the
end Of six months. This was
placed on file.
The clerk called the attention
Of the board to the application of
r. b. Curry for the same position.
No action taken.
A letter to the board from the
junior chamber Of commerce Of
Jacksonville cites their program
for the year 1884 and asks that
the board grant the body free
transportation over the ferry sys-
tenn on their proposed trip that
year TO Cuba. The request was
granted.

|EXTORTION PLOT
IS DISCOVERED
| AT HOLLYWOOD
Prominent Persons in the
Movie Industry We're to
Be Victims ~ Trap to
Catch Guilty Fails

Hollywood, Calf, March 15.---
(UP)--An extortion plot directed
against prominent persons in Hol-
lywood and Beverly Hills was told
OF today by Edgar Allan Wolff,
former New York playwright, not a
motion picture writer. He claims
to have been one OF the Victims.
Police declined to reveal the names
OF others threatened, but It was
reported that persons prominent in
the motion picture industry were
to have been yictimized.
Demands against Wolff were
made in a letter signed "Protec-
tive Service Association" which
threatened his safety unless he paid
$1,00, he claimed. Wolff engaged
two armed bodyguards and placed
guards about his house "a hours a
day. An attempt by police to trap
the extcrtionists BY having Wolff
apparently follow out their instruc-'
tions failed. He has been followed
and has received several telephone
calls since receiving the original
demand, he said. The Protective
Service Association" declared If
persuasion" were necessary, their
"fee'' would be $4,000.
