Walser , of Bay Shore , filed with the Babylon Town Board a notice of claim for the sum of $12,771.99 , money which the village alleges the County of Suffolk erroneously paid to the township but which it should have paid to the vil- lage. The board referred the matter to Franklin T. Voelker , Lindenhurst attorney. The claim stat ed that the money was due the village as a part of the business corporation franchise tax for the years 1926 and to 1933. inclusive , which ithe State collected and turned , over to Suffolk County. The Village of Elmira Heights filed a similar claim with the Town of Horseheads last year and then brought an action for the money. It won the case to the Court ot Appeals and re- ceived about $40X100 in principal and interest. Mr , Walser Is not carrying on t he work alone. He has , as co l- leagues , the firm of Lewis , Garvin & Kclsey -and Robert P. McDowell , of New York. If they, collect the money they will receive one third of the amount of the claim , or 1 4 ,253.07 as a fee. . How the long lost daughter and sole heir of D'Aub ' inge Bason was found In a .
