LINCOLN, May 9.—(Special.)—By unani- mous vote the State Board of Compromise this afternoon accepted $8,000 in full pay- ment of the shortage of $13,278.45 of former Treasurer Lynch of Platte county. The money was pald into the treasury and a receipt given discharging all sureties from further liability. Mr. Lynch was elected on the fusion reform ticket. Sult was begun in the district court of Platte county to recover the funds due, but was never brought to a hearing. Amendments to the defendant nawers, demurrers and numer- ous other legal papers were filed at regular intervals, and in this way the attorneys were able to prevent a hearing of the case. Lynch’'s bondsmen were: C. C. Carrig, D. D. Lynch, C. J. Carrig, Thomas Lynch, Gus G. Beacher, A. Anderson, O. T. Roen, Israel Gluck, E. A. Stocklager, James Car- Patrick Gleason, George Scheidel, T.

H. Sheldon, George W. Galley, C. A. Newman. Some of the bondsmen died and some are now insolvent. The history of the case, together with the detalls of the settlement, is cet forth in the following resolution adopted by the board and signed by all of its members, Attorney General Prout, Treasurer Stuefer and Auditor Weston: History of the Ci Whereas, It appears _that James W. | Lynch, late treasurer of Platte county, Ne: braska, at the expiration of his term of | office as such treasurer, was indebted to | the state of Nebraska on account of taxes collected on behalf of the state prior to the 9th day of January, 1%, in the sum of $13,278.45, which amount sald Lynch has faiied and refused to pay over (o the state; and, Whereas, The sureties on the officlal bond of said Lynch have made to the Board of Compromise an offer to pay into-the state treasury for the beneflt of said state the sum of 33,000 in full settlement of the amount due the state from said Lynch, the sureties on his official bond and the county of Platte, and In addition to sald sum to rn)‘ all costs which have been incurred in itigation In the courts of Platte county on account of sald shortage; and, Whereas, It appears to this board that the Interests of the state of Nebraska will be best subsérved by a compromise of sald indebtedness; therefore be it Resolved, by the Board of Compromise of the State of Nebraska, That under and by virtue of the powers In said board vested under the provisions of chapter Ixxlv of the Laws of Nebraska for 191, that sald offer of compromise made by the sureties on the official bond of said James W. Lynch be dnd the same is hereby acc P{\l(‘ll. and that upon the payment of the safu $5,000 to the state treasurer for the benefit of sald state that the indebtedness of the said James W. Lynch, the sureties on his offictal bond and .. the county of Platte be and they are hereby released and discharged from and on account of all Indebtedness to the state of Nebraska arising from the fallure of sald James W. Lynch to pay to the state of Nebraska the sald sum of $13,275.45. Franchises Not Considered. The State Board of Equalization made some headway with the minor rallroads to- day, but decided to withhold the figures unt{l the work is completed. “The figures may be changed” sald a member of the board, “and for that reason we prefer to keep them to ourselves until the entire valuation is finally determined.” Two members of the board admitted to- day that they are not conmsidering fran- chises in determining the valuation of the rallroad property. He Insisted that his attention had been cited to no provision of the law requiring consideration of fran- chises and added that no figures had been obtained on this feature of the work be- fore the board. In other words, the board is considering only the physical side of the rallroad. The law gives the board practically un- limited power in the assessment of rallroad and telegraph property, authorizing it to take into consideration not only the actual stock or rroperty, but any other informa- tion as well. Bonacum Case to Come Up.

Fix Sizes of Berry Boxes. Directors of the local grocers’ associa- tion in sesslon at the Lindell hotel last vight decided td attempt to regulate the size of berry boxes in which fruit is re- talled by merchants and peddlers. This they hope to accomplish with the help of the city attorney or the city council. It was recommended that the berry box cen- pialn sixty-ome or sixty-two cuble inches. B turing ter; - Swift t It s claimed that the peddlers juggle with the size of the boxes and then reduce the price to such a low figure that the grocery- men cannot compete. It is claimed that sometimes the quantity of fruit retailed by the wandering salesmen is only about one-third the amount contained in a box of berries sold by a grocer. This allows the unscrupulous one & handsome profit and correspondingly increased sales.
