Money Grabbing George Wallace.

New York, 1895

(The Hempstead Inquirer.)

Counselor Wallace's greatest success as counsel of the board of Supervisors seems to have been achieved in the presentation of bills for extra services. Mr. Wallace was appointed Counsel of the board at a salary of $1,500, to cover all work done by counsel of the board. The board a few days ago received a great shock when the counselor presented a bill for $369.53, $94.53 for traveling expenses at Albany and $275 for services rendered at Albany. The Hempstead Town Board has had some experience with junketing trips of this kind — an experience which it seems is now being transferred to a wider field.

John Graul, a Flushing milkman, has sued that village for $1,200 damages for the destruction of plants and fertilizers by the drainage of the streets.
