Editor testifies in assault case with tax assessor
Hope Star editor Alex H. Washburn testified in Hope Municipal Court that Hempstead County Tax Assessor Carter Sutton knocked him to the sidewalk near the newspaper building on Walnut Street last Friday. Three witnesses supported Washburns account. Sutton posted a $10 bond but failed to appear, and the case was dismissed against Washburn after he was granted a trial to show it was assault not fighting. Washburn, who said the incident followed a period of controversy over millage and property assessments, defended the papers stance and said Sutton may have mistaken comments in Around the Town for the paper policy.

Postmaster Robert Wilson urges that every third class mail item carry the recipient’s correct address. Addresses from residences often differ from actual mailing addresses such as post office boxes or business locations. Incorrect addresses cannot be forwarded or transferred and misaddressed items may not be returned to sender except in certain cases. Organizers should verify recipients’ correct addresses via first class mail requests or direct inquiries. If addressed to an old box or wrong box, it cannot be transferred locally. Readers with incorrect mail addresses should notify the sender. Form 547 has been discontinued.
