So she informed Municipal Court Judge Jennie L. Barron yesterday when the judge offered her this choice: “Give up your mink coat | and jewels.or spend six months in |the common jail.” Mrs. Prevoir’s attorney, how- ever appealed the sentence. The woman had pleaded guilty | of defrauding an insurance firm of | $800 by filing a false lost report |on a diamond studded wrist watch. | Police said she pawned the watch ‘and used the money to make a | down payment on a mink coat. Judge Barron offered to give | Mrs. Prevoir a suspended sentence if she would “assign the coat and jewels as security for restitution.” ‘He “Lost Control” MALONE, N.Y. (#—James Hughes, 3%, told his grandmother, Mrs, Carl Ornstedt, he “lost con- trol for a minute” when he took | the family’s new automobile for a | joyride. The car went down the driveway j and across the road, sideswiped a neghbor’s garage, circled back on- |to the Ornstedt lawn and struck a | tree. The car damage was estimat- ec at $300. Young Hughes, who had learned how to shift the car gears, prom- ised never to touch the keys again.

Next, County Tax Assessor |Claude Gandolfo, also irked by |what he termed “unwarranted | criticism,” tossed the city out of |his office. The city had been al- | lowed to use his facilities for some | years resulting in considerable | saving to the city. No Quorum Next, the Equalization Board has been unable to muster a quorum for their meeting. The board con- sists of the city commission and the tax assessor. But with Pind- er'’s resignation and the absence from the city of some of the com- missioners, they could not get a quorum. The commission has not ironed out details of the budget either. They have slated a meet- ing to consider the city’s spending program for Friday night, how- ever. Meanwhile, the city manager and | finance director tentatively set the | millage at 24.5 mills — apparently hoping that the commission would back them up on their move. There is a general assessment | of 20 mills. Two and a half mills | were set aside for debt service | and two mills will go for the city’s | share of the cost of operation of the Monroe General Hospital, ac- cording to the tentative millage levy, Meanwhile, it is a race against time to get the books in the hands of the Tax Collector in time for | him to prepare bills for mailing. | Tax Collector Archie Roberts says that he must have the kooks by August 1 so that he can have bills in the mail August 15 for out-of- town tax payers. Taxes are due September 1, with the usual four per cent discount. Any delay may result in upset- ting the city’s financial structure, observers hold.
