EVASION CHARGE
 NOT ESTABLISHED
SChepia Convicted, Fined on Two Other Counts
 After Lengthy Hearing

Paul Schepis, fl Sheffield Ter race, won discharge on charges of evading responsibility when City Court Judge Charles R. Summa found yesterday afternoon that it had not been proved beyond a req soneble doubt that he. was the driver of the car which struck and severely injured Cpl. Charles Ho- sier, 26 Plaza avenue, on Thomas ton avenue Christmas morning.
 However Judge Summa found Schepis guilty of driving while un- der the influence of liquor and reckless driving, and imposed fine of $10O on the first count and $5C on the second.
 Schepis' car was found smashed up against pole on Thomaston avenue and Homer street half an hour after Cpl. Hosier was struck Neither Hosier or two of his com panions Marine Sgt. Robert J. Ho- sier and Pfc. Alain Osgood, coulc positively identify Schepis' car as the one which struck Cpl. Hosier although they said they did not be- lieve any other car had gone bJ them that morning.
 The defense rested after two wit nesses were presentd in the aftr- noon. On, Schpis' wife, said noth- ing eventful happened on Thomas ton avenue before the car crashed into the pole at Homer street. The othr witness, Nicholas Schepis brother of the accused, said there had been drinking at his home but that the accused appeared able te drive when he left for home.

City Budget Director Arnold E. Furlong today disclosed that a total of $78,668 is on the books for the corporation counsel charged-up against street, sewer and paving assessments. These are credited in the following amounts; street as- easements, $38,504; street assess ments credited to a suspense ledger in amount of $17,242; sewer assess ments (many of which date back to 188I, $22,1 ,163 and paving assess ments in amount of $759.
 Purpose of the proposed statute is to clarify for final determine tion the confusion resulting from terms of state statute Sect. 169-F which provides for outlawing of taxes. A few years ago, Atty. Gen. eral Palotti ruled that such sta- ute applied to assessments as well as general taxes. Many cities and municipalities in the state disputed the ruling and continued on the theory that assessments were col lectable. The present proposed biD IS to make the matter mandatory
 It is generally felt, MT. Furlong stated, that such assessments are "uncollectible" because of various factors. One of these factors is that in many instances no true ownership of the properties involved can be traced. Relative to the lat. ter the $17,242 credited to sus- pense ledger has been set aside. searches and other necessitieshrdlu
 In addition to the cost. of title searches and other necessities to de- termine the status of the property involved would in many instances cost more than the assessment it. self.
 In the case of the tax collectors books the majority of the accounts outstanding date from 1889 through subsequent years while the oldest date but to l930 so that the out law effect of the proposed statute would not affect these claims un. il next year.
 The majority of these assessments on the corporation counsel's books were transferred there in 1880, at the time of the charter changes The greater majority, as stated have been determined as uncollec- tible.
