(JIvpm I'll Scvt'ii DolliirM o nn Adven turer Who lliiitenr. Matthew Ilahn, an employe of tho Illinois Central railway, who room9 at 1103 Aveouo Tho law passed by tho state legislature t Its recent session permitting couutlos to enter Into contracts for tho discovery of property withheld or concealed from assess ment for taxation nnd limiting tho com pensation that should bo paid for this work haB n direct bearing on the contract entered into last November by tho Board of County Supervisors with F. M. Cunningham of In diana and, will possibly Involve tho board In more or less litigation. Under tho contract with Cunningham tho supervisors agreed to glvo him 50 per cent uf nil moneys recovered through his efforts In listing property that should bo taxed, but which had hitherto been withheld or con cealed from assessment. Tho contract Is for a year and a half nnd Cunningham for two moutbs or 111010 has had a force of clerks ut work here. Similar contracts have been entered Into by other county boards throughout the state. Tho net recently passed by the stato legis lature, while giving counties authority to cuter Into such contracts, fixes the maxi mum compensation to bo paid for tho work nt 15 per cent of nil moneys recovered In such way. It further provides that con tracts heretofore made by county boards for such work are valid If tho parties within thirty days after the passngo of tho act sign a -written agreement to accept the 15 per cent In lieu of all compensation or of any different amount provided by such contracts. In tho event of no such agreement within the thirty days tho contract heretofore mado will 'bo Invalid. Cmiii IiikIiiiiii In Now SluU. Cunningham Is not nt presont In tho city, being laid up sick at Guthrie Centor, where ho has anothor contract similar to tho ono here, and theroforo what his Intentions aro cannot bo learned at present. When It beenmo known that this law was likely to pass tho legislature a numbor of persons like Mr. Cunningham employed In iorretlng out property for taxation suc ceeded In Introducing a bill to repeal tectlnu 33S3 of tho code and substitute ono which thoy believed would offsot tho new law. Tho substitute, read as follows: Section 13S5. Tho auditor may correct nny error in the nssensmmit or tax list, hut ho 1'oro so tlolni; bo shall notify tho person, iirm. I'nnmrutloii or administrator to tin. jicnr before him ut his otllco within llvo iluvH from tho timo of suld notice nnd flhow cause, if any there lw why suoli nrrctlon should not ho made, mid xhmild juicli party feel aggrieved at tho action or mini nuiiiior uu kiuiii nuve 11111 rigui nf unneiil therefrom to tho district court.
