Absence puts burden
on other workers—
Sftjf Dissatisfied
William M. Kirkpa'.rick, North:
Wales, who last week was appointed
to a $3 000 Job as an appraiser In
vesiigator In the Inheritance Tax
Appraiser's officer at Norrbtown by
Secretary of Revenue David W.
Harris, has not yet put in an ap-pearance
at the Court House office
On Monday, Kirkpatrick'.s failure
to show up was explained by th?
fact he was -working In Philadel-phia"
and would be on duty Tues-day.
Kirkpatrick also failed to report.
Then a rumor began spreading
that all was not well and rumor
added that Mr Kirkpatrick isn't at
all pleased with the set up. It is
said that Mr Kirkpatrick had ex-pected
that he would get the $3600
job of Inheritance Tax Appraiser to
which James D. Hynes. of Chelten-ham
was appointed.
His absence for any such reason
is firmly denied by Chief Appraiser
Hynes and by others who had to
do with his appointment. They
say that Kirkpatrick informed them
Sunday that he would be unable to
sever Ins connection, with a Phila
d:'lphia University where be is em-ployed
until the latter part of this
week. They deny any knowledge of
any dlssatisfact ion on the part of
Kirkpatrick. Efforts to contact him
personally today were futile and at
Us home it was said he would not
return until 6 this evening.
At any rate the decreased per-sonnel
of the office uncler th* Har-ris
appointments—accentuated by
the absence of Kirkpatrick—Is car-rying
on as best they can with
volumes of work they took over on
Monday morning
While no formal complain' DM
been made. In so-far as is known,
it is said that the action of the
h* salaries of the
Appraisers from $3,600. which the
Democrats received under Auditor
k»:eral F Clair Ross, to $3,000
wnich the Republican appointees
are receiving under Secretary of
Revenue Harris, hasn't gone down
so well
Prior to formal announcement of
the appointments last week, It was
the general impression in the Court
House that when the appointments
were mude that the salary of the
Chief Appraiser would be returned
to $5,000. which was the salary paid
when Wellington H. Rosenberry.
Jr. was Chief Appraiser. The salary
was cut lo $3,800 when Earl P.
Poitstown, was named as
Rosenberry's successor. That ar-rangement
wxs made in order to
make room for an additional em
ploye of the office
