OB TWO ALTON EVENING TELEGRAPH FRIDAY, MAY 19, i 939 Week Remains To Pay Taxes At City Hall May 27 Will Be Last Day Treasurer May Make Collections $300,000 Paid to Date $250,000 Still to Come in, to Equal Total of Last Year After Saturday, only one week will remain for completing the tax collection in Alton, and City Treasurer Boschert believes that the time has arrived for some of the larger payments to begin rolling Jn. The total thus far received, Bonchert announced today, is a little more than $300,000, and nearly $250,000 remains to come in If last year's Alton collection is to be equaled. While Boschert looks forward to receiving some substantial amounts from industrial and other large assessments as the end of the collection period nears, he pointed out today that there must be a big influx of smaller payments If last year's fine payment record is to be maintained. On all payments made In Alton, the city receives a collection fee of two percent which reverts to the city when settlement Is made with the county treasurer. The city's fee last year wns more than Bird Breaks Window On Interurban Car Miss Gloria Springer escaped injury, Thursday night, when a bird flew against the window, and shattered the glass, on the 9 o'clock intorurban car on which she was returning to Alton from St.

Other developments of the day: Chicago "Makes Money" on WPA The House ways and means committee gave final approval to broad amendments designed to bring more individuals Into the sociay security system and lower some social security taxes. The House committee investigating WPA heard from a committee Investigator that the city of Chicago was "making money" on WPA demolition projects. The witness, E. R. Erlckson, told the committee that on May 1 Chicago had $45,231 in a "petty cash" account realized from the sale of material salvaged from the wrecking projects.

The investigator said old buildings, privately owned, were torn $11,000 and was of Important help down wlth WPA labor free of charge to the owners. Erlckson In the financing of the general expenses of the city. When taxpayers delay and pay their taxes later in the season at Edwardsville, benefit of two percent on their bills Is lost to the city, and thus those who pay at the local tax office city a good turn at no additional cost to their pocketbooks. Wednesday was a light payment day at the collector's office, only $7000 being received although the number of individual payments made was relatively large. Yesterday, Boschert said, a fine rush of payments developed, and his receipts were a bit more than $21,000.

Collector Boschert reiterated today that he must close the tax office in City Hall a week from May 27. He must be ready for a settlement with the county treasurer as of June 1, and will 'require the last few days of the month to balance his books. The first Installment of realty taxes becomes delinquent as of June 1, and those wh'b pay before the Alton office will gave an interest charge on half their realty bill. Personal taxes are not payable in Installments. All personal tax bills must be paid before his office closes, Boschert points out, or special steps to enforce collections must be pressed.

Smith, Joseph Kelly, Dr. Joseph E. Schulte, Sid read Into the record a letter from a city official pointing out to the owner of one of the buildings that his tax assessment would be reduced If he sanctioned the demolition ot the structure. "In other words," remarked Representative Taber, Republican, New York, "the city of Chicago is conducting a campaign to reduce its own tax receipts." "That's right," said Erickson. The investigator testified that the city employed a system under which It got double credit for the salvaged when It was salvaged, and again when any of its was used on other WPA projects.

"It sounds like a plain fraud," remarked Representative Ludlow, Democrat, Indiana. Mrs. Dora Duckels, Chesterfield, Dies CHESTERFIELD, May 19 Dora Smith Duckels, 76, died at 7:30 a. m. today at Macoupin Hospital, Carllnvllle.

He was in his ninetieth year. In the closing years of his life he had been afflicted by blindness, but he did not permtl the affliction to curtail the activities of a busy life.

After blindness prevented other work, he gained enjoyment out of gardening, and at his home until this spring had tended a vegetable and flower garden.

With his parents, he moved to a farm between Fosterburg and Woodburn, where two brothers, Edward and Frank, and a sister, Miss Alice Ferguson, still reside. He was married April 22, 1877, to Miss Nancy Jane Bevel, a pioneer of the Fosterburg area. After their marriage, they lived on a farm.

EDWARDSVILLE, May 19 verdict of Justifiable homicide was returned by a coroner's Jury Thursday afternoon, following an Investigation into the fatal shooting of Elden M.

Daniels, 37, slain by Amos Newton, 42, at Glen Carbon Saturday night. The jury, composed of Glen Carbon residents, found in its verdict that Daniels came to his death from "gunshot wounds in the chest inflicted by a .32 calibre revolver In the hands of Amos Newton while he was acting in self defense. (Justifiable homicide)." Newton's statement In regard to the shooting, given after he had surrendered to the village president of Glen Carbon, was read at the inquest.

Gilbert Walker in Glen Carbon, was corroborated by Mrs. Walker. Daniels, he stated, attacked him after entering the home carrying a rifle, asserting: "I've come here to kill you." Statements of housewives and neighbors, who saw Daniels enter the Walker home carrying the rifle early Saturday evening, were also read to the The Inquest, was conducted by Deputy Coroner B. H. Weber at the coroner's office in the courthouse.

Newton, held in the county jail Saturday nfght, was released following his exoneration by the jury's verdict. In commenting upon the verdict, State's Attorney Griffith said: "The verdict of the jury at the coroner's inquest is very much In accord with the facts as we have found them." "Both Sheriff Wlttman and my office," Griffith added, "have conducted a very comprehensive investigation since the shooting occurred, and the facts seem to indicate that the deceased was the assailant all through the affray, and had the reputation of being a dangerous character." The Eagle badge, Scoutlng's highest Achievement award, is difficult to earn and is worth working and waiting for. After he'd waited 33 years for his, one was presented at the monthly Scoutmasters' Round Table meeting, held at the Elm Street Presbyterian Church, to Scoutmaster George Horstman of Troop 15 at Milton school by Scout Executive H. J. Homann.

Horstman became a Scout in 1920 at Troop 5 of the Congrega tional Church, and later served a Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop at the Evangelical Church. After seven years in Scouting dropped his official connection ti seek employment away from Alton Early this year he accepted th scoutmastershlp of the Milton Scout troop at the request of a committee composed of fathers scouts. Preparing him for his duties Executive Homann learned from Horstman that he qualified for the Eagle rank, but by leaving town, never had received the award. A careful search through old records at the Seoul office revealed that Horstman had qualified. The facts' were laid before the National Court of Honor commit lee In New York City, and the award was granted immediately.

The ceremony attendant to awarding the Eagle badge to Horstman climaxed an evening of discussion and planning of Piasa Bird Council scoutmasters. The subject under discussion, "Advancement" was led by Assistant Scoutmasters Binford Spencer of Troop 5, First Presbyterian Church, and Kline Grigsby of Troop 10, First Methodist Church. The leaders also discussed extensive camping plans for this summer at Camp Warren Levls and voted to hold their next scoutmaster's meeting at the camp on June 15.

EDWARDSVILLE, May 19, pension checks covering the first quarter of 1939, aggregating $14,220, were mailed out today to 158 recipients over the county. Delayed by a lack of funds in the blind pension account, release of the payment was made possible through arrangements effected by County Treasurer Harry Hartman. Owing to the steady increase in number of pensioners, while revenue in the pension fund has declined as the assessed valuation of county property has dropped In recent years, prompt payment of the pensions each quarter has become impossible. The county's contribution toward the pensions Is matched by state funds. Checks being released today were drawn up recently at the office of County Clerk Norbert Hotz and held up until funds became available.
