Dr. Osbwnc Writes.
A number of'thc oyster dealers
received letters yesterday afternoon
from Dr. Stanley Osborne. state
commissioner of health announcing
that more tests. presumably the last

'However. the state boat. chartered

Dr. Osborne.

Following Revelations in Sentinel Last Evening
Councilman Pollard Announces Meeting for To-
night — Robins Silent — Bank Retains Counsel
To Advise It Concerning Money On Deposit.
The audit committee at its meeting this evening, will take up
the matter of $13, 641. 71 which is on deposit in four local banks
under the name of Robert 0. Mitchell,- ex- tax collector, and for
which no record exists on the tax books or accounts, as revealed
exclusively in The Sentinel yesterday.
“’ant Uunco's Opinion
Councilman Herbert 0. Pollard.
chairman of the audit committee
stated this morning that he thought
the money should be turned over to
the city and that the question was
now in the hands of Corporation
Counsel John J. Cuneo. He will be
asked to give an opinion on the
matter this evening
Max or Thomas Robins stated this
nloming that he was not prepared
to make a statement on the matter
at the present time. He said that the
city officials were cooperating with
the auditors in every possible and
that in due time a full report of
the audit would be made.
Tax Collector Lawrence K. Paul
has no record of the money and the
books of former Tax Collector Mit-
chell have not been formally turned
over to him. He said that he had
heard of the money in the banks
had knew nothing about it other-
wise. He said that books would be
turned over to him officially when
they were audited.
The money has been in the banks
for the past 11 months and- is not
drawing interest.
Bank Retains Lawyer
0 s of the banks in the first dis-
lri'c Which has some of the money
on deposit has retained counsel in
the matter. It wishes to be advised
as to whether it should turn the
money over to the city or not. It is
of the opinion that since the money
is deposited in the name of Robert
G. Mitchell tax collector, it should
be turned ox er to him.
