NOT AFRAID OF A CONTEST.'

Mayor-Ele- ct Young of WebsterHas Paid His Taxes.

The friends of Mayor-ele- ct Thoma C.Young of Webster Groves are not alarmedby the threat of- - certain supporters ofFleming, his opponent, to contest his elec-tion .on the ground that he is disqualifiedby having failed to pay his taxes.

At the la3t moment it was discoveredthat Mr. Young had not paid his real estatetax, being ignorant of the provision of thelaw that taxes must be paid before a man Iseligible to hold office. Mr.-- Young paid thetax immediately on being informed of theground for getting his. check intothe hands of Collector Farrington at 9 p.m. Tuesday.

Mr. Young received a letter from the Col-lector a week ago stating that he would beIneligible to the mayoralty unless his per-sonal tax were paid. There was no mentionof the real estate taxes. Mr. Young senta check for his personal tax and thoughtnothing more of the matter. His friendshave' consulted an attorney, who gave theonlnlon that under the circumstances, .whereMr. Young's living up to the spirit ot thelaw was ooviou3, ana poin taxes uny paiuas. soon as he was Informed,- nothing couldcome of a contest but defeat for Fleming.
