Mr. Hale expresses the view. that- because of. the vast amount of ex- pense incurred.by.him, particularly in the collection of ýthe 1931 taxes only partially. comipleted and, through no fault of his oii, draggrng along' %vith continuous added expense to linîself, thýat the township should pay .his bond preiniuu. ýHe lias .between $5,000. and. $6,000 of* township tax mioneys on -bauid, which, lie- says, he. will turn- over to the township, less theamount of the bond premnium, whenever the town- slip..mtakes good its promise to' pay the premiumi. Demiand Paynient The township thus far hias receiyed' f rom Mr. Hale approximiately $8,000 nii full of the 1931 tax revenue col- Iected, against the levy for 1931 and, at the meeting of the township board of aliditors Monday evening, passed a.' resolution demnanding that Mir. Hale pay over the balance amounting to between $5,000 and $6,000. The township clerk was, also irstructed to senid a copy of t he request to the New Trier Citizens' league. The re- solution follows WIIREAS.,,One percent of ail nioneys in excess of $800,000 collected by the Teown.,-hip) Collector is, according to law, payable tsg New Trier Township, and. premium provided the township agreed to assume the burden of some of the extra expense. '1 SThe Township body claims that it agreed to pay, in its discretion, a~ part of the expenses, not to exceed $2,500, but insists that. it cannot determine what -if any share it cati pay un1li >nd to Court, reiceives the balance of the money, which Mr. 'Hale bas on hand and due the 'township. "When I receive my certificate of' satisfaction from, the icounty collec- tor for my. collection of the 1931. taxes, still in progress, I will make a final settlement with the townshipi." Collector Hale declared. 4.I have taken, legal advice on this subject," he said', "and will proceed accordingly.- Ten thousand dollars may sound like. a 'lot of money for collecting the taxes, but the. Town- ship -board does not appear to take inito conrsideration the vast ex.%pense, in connection with this work, and par- ticrilarly at this timie, when, if I were forced to pay mny own bond premnium, I would receive littie for the arduous duties connecte.d' with the collection worlc, complicated as if lias been miade with partial payments and tax anticipation warrant receipts." Ânti cipates No Money Mir. Hale stated that it has cost himn $8,651 to date to make the 1931 collection, and declared that, if caîl- ed upon to collect the seconid ilistall- ment, he will be compelled to' spend a total of $10,000 thus leaviing nothinig for his owni services.
