Riley often REBATE TAX PAID FOR ROOMER'S CAR Bristol Councilmen Straighten Out Unusual Error on Record (Spedial to the Herald) Bristol, Dec. 5—Tax Collector experiences considerable difficulty in collecting | certain taxes, but rarely does he | have a case where someone pays an- | other’s bill without becoming aware of the fact until several years later. | Yet such a case did happen and in consequence the party paying the | bill in error presented a request that the amount involved be rebated, In July, 1922, a party named Wa ter Ryan arrived in the city in a automobile. The car was entered in | his name on the grand list and sub- sequently a bill for $7.35, to cover| {the tax, was mailed to him at his| {address, 107 Wall street, where he had rented a room from Mrs. Mar- garet E. Wall. When the bill arrived, however, Ryan had left the city and Mrs. Wall was also absent on a two months' vacation. Before leaving, Mrs. Wall left her aifairs in charge of a housckeeper, whom she in- structed to pay all bills during her absence. Agcordingly when Ryan's bill arrived. the housekeeper, With- out noticing Ityan's name on the in voice ,took it to the tax collector’s office and paid for it out of funds provided by Mrs. Wall. The error was not discovered by Mrs. Wall un- til last Friday, when she went to the tax collector's office and demand- ed a rebate. Such action was beyond the power of Mr. Riley and he in turn referred the matter to Mayer W. Raymond Crumb, who presented a letter from Mrs. Wall to the city council last night. It was shown that Mrs. Wall had never owned a Ford icar, but Tax Collector Riley could | i not say who paid the bill because of the length of time which had elapsed since the date of payment. The council, while it expressed the opinion that it would be within its | rights to deny the request of Mrs. Wall. voted to rebate the amount ‘u w]mwimn and charge it back to the ount of Mr. Ryam, who left the A'lly in October, 1922, and whose present whereabouts s unknown.
