OI,I.STi;OT CONTRACT tOMLlDKI)
Court Sanctions Ketaru of Sloirr Al
ready In the Treasury'.
Judge Thornell, in district court, yester
day signed the final decree in the suit
brought by Attorney S. B. Wadsworth
againBt tiio Board of County Supervisors
to have set aside the contract made with
Otto Vollstedt, an employe In the county
treasurer's office, for the collection of de
linquent personal taxes. The cancellation
of the contract by the board Is continued
and the return to the county treaury of
the compensation paid Vollstedt Is ap
proved. Wadsworth Is given judgment for
the costs of the action. .
The findings of the court In the judg
ment, as entered yesterday morning, were
that:
The action of the Board of Supervisors
In making the contract complained of In
plaintiff s petition and paying the money
under said contract to Otto Vollstedt was
ultra vires and void; that said amount so
paid to aald Vollwtedt has been refunded
to the treasury of Pottawattamie county;
that said contract has been canceled by
the- said defendant board.
It Is therefore ordered and adjudged that
the payment of said sum into the county
be approved: that the cancellation of aaid
contract with Otto Vollstedt be confirmed
and that the plaintiff have judgment
against the defendants for costs.
Through the efforts of Mr. Vollstedt
nearly $10,000 was covered into the county
treasury, and much of the money collected
by him was from persons who had left
Pottawattamie county and settled In other
parts of the country. The board. In enter
ing Into the contract with Mr. Vollstedt,
had merely been following a custom whli h
had prevailed In this and other counties in
the state for years. The suit brought by
Attorney Wadsworth In no way reflected
on James W. Mitchell, the treasurer of
Pottawattamie county, although Mr. Wads
worth attempted to make political capital
out of It when presiding over the demo
cratic county convention.
