The first attempt at. adjustment, although we notified the bank in August 1967, was in July 1968 a year later. Instead of fixing the problem, they liquidated my account and sent me a check, which I didn't request. The check was returned with a request to reinstate my account before all this started. The.

Tax Case Settled The engineers have pleted a study of the needs of the village and the various sections will be recommended as to priority. It was estimated that the preliminary filing costs before the referendum is held will total about $3,000 and will cover engineering work, plans and specifications. A discussion on whether or not village employes should be required to live inside the village resulted in the problem being tabled for further study and recommendations requested for the next meeting of the board. The trash collection problem received another lengthy discussion and the board tentatively agreed that all property owners would receive one normal collection a week, without charge. All those requiring extra large collections or more than one a week would be charged extra for this service.

Franklin Mills and the Stetsons had disputed the IRS claims in the Tax Court of the United States. In approving settlement Chief Judge William M.

In federal criminal courts Franklin Mills, as a corporation, also had pleaded no-contest, through Stetson, on April 3, 1962, to criminal charges of willfully evading income taxes for the years 1953 through 1957.

Building Doomed Q. There is a large, round building near the entrance to Genesee Valley Park at Genesee Park Boulevard that is closed and More than 1,000 Indians Of 100 Tribes to Gather boarded up.

Why isn't it open to the public to use as a dance hall or picinic shelter? MRS. K. BEASOM, ROCHESTER A. The building formerly housed a merry-go-round which went out of business. The floor is shot and would have to be replaced before the county could open it for public use.

This is not feasible because the land will be turned over to the University of Rochester within the next two years and will no longer exist as a public park. Otherwise the county Park Department agrees with you and would fix it up for public use if they planned to retain the land.

BATAVIA A major conference on Indian unity, leavened by authentic dances and entertainment based on an- cient Indian cultures, will take place this weekend and early next week at the Tona wanda Reservation some 10 miles west of here. Spokesmen for the sponsoring Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy said yesterday more than 1,000 indians from over 100 tribes in North, Central and South America are expected along, possibly, with a number of non-Indian celebrities. The Senecas, who inhabit the Tonawanda reservation, together with the Mohawks, Oneidas, Cayugas, Onondagas and Tuscaroras form the Iro-quis confederacy. The Senecas and Onondagas each are playing host to a session of the series of meetings, which will conclude with similar conferences on reservations in Canada.

While the prime purpose is business "Indian unity," said Mrs. Ramona Charles the meeting will offer plenty of opportunity for non-Indians to participate in the entertainment and ceremonial activities of the four-day meeting. The meeting will open Saturday and run through next Tuesday. Mornings will be taken up by business sessions, closed to all but recognized delegates. Afternoons and evenings are to be set aside for visitors.

Chief Beeman Logan of the reservation is general chairman of the meeting, known officially as the "Traditional Indian Council." On his campgrounds and some neighboring property the hundreds of Indians will camp during the gathering. Mrs. Charles, secretary of the Senecas' Central Committee, said that besides Indian dances and entertainment, there'll be lacrosse games and a non-Indian sport a demonstration of sky-diving by parachutists from nearby Akron. To help defray their travel expenses, Indians from greater distances, such as the Navajos of the American Southwest, are being permitted to display and sell their native-made handicrafts. n.
