Mayor Curley blamed delinquent taxpayers for a $70 000 deficit in the city treasury. He attributed the shortfall to poor business conditions and high interest, noting taxpayers chose 6 percent interest over external borrowing to cover taxes.
Mayor Curley said last year the city carried a $500,000 surplus from Mayor John F. Fitzgerald's administration. He attributed the gain mainly to telephone solicitation of major taxpayers in the final 10 days of that administration.
The mayor describes a fiscal deficit caused by unexpected expenditures and notes improvised phone reminders to the city’s heaviest tax payers. He says no threats were used and expects measures won’t be needed next year, with only about 1 percent targeted.

Van Horn, tagged as a German operative, boasted of the crime after dynamiting a short Canadian Pacific Bridge at Vanceboro Maine. He was captured by Deputy Sheriff George Ross and Canadian officers, while authorities pursue extradition to New Brunswick to face charges. The bridge suffered minor damage and was deemed safe for passage after repairs.
The piece argues Van Horn’s act is political and non extraditable, citing Ornelas v Ruis and Thaw precedents. It reviews Webster Ashburton Treaty Article 10 and Article 2 safeguards, plus Arbitration Convention Article 1, detailing how political cases affect surrender and habeas corpus challenges between US Britain and Canadian concerns. It links possible deportation and treatment as a German officer to political nature of the act.
Maine authorities hold Van Horn in Washington county detention. No federal instructions have been received. Armed guards guard Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk bridges in Maine, with extra precautions at night.
