PLAYS 'LEGION GAME'
CHICAGO, June 20. (P) Before
the terrified eyes of her seven year
old son, who lay in bed beside her,
Mrs. Florence Thompson Castle, 24,
a comely divorcee and entertainer,
was choken and beaten to death to
day by a huge negro who Invaded her
small room in a near north side hotel.
On the mirror of a dresser the
killer had scrawled with his victim's
lipstick:
"Black Legon. Game."
Beneath the writing was a crudely
drawn skull and cross bones.
After twice questioning the son,
the police said they believed the
slayer either assaulted or attempted
to assault his victim after slugging
her. Before leaving, the intruder
looted Mrs. Castle's purse and scat
tered its contents on a fire escape.
have been dealt with in a more or
less haphazard manner since no
avowed policy haa been worked out.
Therefore, the new plan contem
plates asking the council to submit to
the voters a charter amendment giv
ing the council definite authority to
make such adjustments on these mat
ters as seem advisable.
System 4 Years Old
The new system of city lien docket
books waa started four years ago. At
that time it was found it would cost
tbe city $5,000 to hare tbe records
transferred to a new set of books.
Rather than spend this amount, the
council asked present employes of the
city recorder's and treasurer's office
to do this work. This has been under
way for four yeara and was recently
completed.
Under the old system of keeping
records on city property, opportuni
ties for error were plentiful, accord
ing to city officials. The system
consisted of three 8tepB: (a) orig
inal assessments on property were
figured in tbe city engineer's office;
(b) the city attorney drew up the
assessment ordinance: (c) the city
recorder presented the matter to
the council which then passed the
assessment ordinance; (d) the as
sessment was recorded against tbe
property as a lien by the city re
corder; (e) the docket was trans
ferred to the citr treasurer' nfficA
for collection of the assessments. '
The treasure kept track of pay
menta and sent out notifications of
payments duo. The original assess
ment notice was sent out by the
recorder.
The difficulty in this system was
two-fold; in the first plnce the rec
ords passed through numerous hands,
opening the way for error, and the
actual record ie not adequate for
the purpose. That is, the record for
a given piece of property was lim
ited In physical space because for
each piece of property there was
one line on the lien docket book to
record the many assessments against
it. As property ownership became
more complicated with snles of por
tions, the records were written In
tbe limited epace with the result
it was often Impossible to make them
out accurately.
No Record Kept
' Another item contributing to the ;
general contusion anu resulting in
notifications of assessments being
sent to persons for property long
since sold, was the fact that there
was no record of property transfers
filed in the city offices. Thus, the
city records showed property belong
ing to an owner who had sold It to
someone else nnd he therefore re
ceived notifications of assessments
due on property no longer his.
Under the new system, city offi
cials eny, this is all changed. The
steps toward making the assess
ments are the same, but after the
lien Is entered, the records are to
go to one man who will be respon
piece of property. In the new books
Instead of there being just one
line on the record book for a given !
piece of property. In the new oboks
each piece has a separate sheet of
paper with adequate room for enter
ing all matters pertaining to tbe
property in a clear, concise, accurate
form.
In addition, the city now receives
notices of every property transfer
each day. Thus when a piece of prop
erty Is broken up. the city is noti
fied and the record changed accord
ingly. For each new piece of prop
erty thus created, a new sheet is
set up In the lien docket record.
