mendations are confidential.

New Tax Action byCiN
Further Snar|s Affairs
0fC|ub Entrepreneur

The tangled affairs of Vincent
Grillo, erstwhile impresario of the
Spotlight Club, have been further
ensnarled by a new District delin-
quent tax assessment and Munich
pal Court order attaching proceeds
from the sale of Grillo's night club
furnishings, Collector of Taxes Guy
w. Pearson revealed today.
Grillo's property was seized Sep
tember for failure to pay $3.50 in
personal property taxes shortly after
police raided the after-hours bottle
club.
A 1887 jeopardy tax assessment
has been lodged against him by
District authorities for failure to pay
corporation franchise taxes for
1916 and 1947.
Auction Proceeds Frozen.
A Municipal Court order has been
served on Adam Weschler, the auc-
tioneer who sold the Spotlight Club
furnishings for the District against
an unpaid heating bill allegedly
owed by Grillo to the Randall mo
tor Co. The motor company owns
the premises at Seventeenth and M
streets NV. leased by Grillo when
he operated the defunct night spot
Mr.. Pearson said sale of the bar
tables and other furnishings on
September 20 brought $1,1O0. After
the auctioneer dedscted expenses
and IL per cent commission. $788
was left to satisfy the Districts s
two-year $3.50 personal property tax
claim against Grillo.
Before the auctioneer could turn
the s788 check over to the tax COL
lector. however. service of the
Municipal Court order yesterday
froze the transaction. Meanwhile
Mr.. Weschler has asked Municipal
Court for advice and is holding the
s788.
Mr.. Pearson has turned the mat
ter to Corporation Counselor Yer
non f. West.
Thus Grillo. who also is in trouble
with Philadelphia authorities. now
owes the District about 81 400 in
unpaid taxes.
Fate of Bottles Uncertain.
He also faces jury trial October
21 in Municipal Court on liquor
law violation charges filed against
him by the police raiders.
Also up in the air is the fate of
55 opened bottles of liquor seized
in the club. The liquor. marked
with the names of individual club
members. reposes in the tax COL
lector's vault. He has resisted sew
eral attempts by club members to
reclaim their bottles because of the
unsettled tax claims.
Mr.. Pearson said he Is unable to
sell the liquor because of Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board regulation
against sale of opened bottles. Per-
sonally. Mr.. Pearson said, he would
like to turn them over to Grillo and
let him worry about satisfying the
owners, but the unsettled tax claims
prevent that too.
Meanwhile Mr.. Persons agents
have sought unsuccessfully to con-
tact Grillo at his home in the 2600
block Of University place NV. since
September q.
