Taxpayers Ponder
HOLYOKE, Mass. <yP)—A mu
nicipal “truant list” to curb ab
senteeism has been suggested by
the Holyoke Taxpayers Associa
tion.
Executive Secretary Edwin A.
Seibel notified the mayor that the
association would like to see “spe
cifically stated on all municipal
payrolls the number of days each
CTnployee is absent from his or her
work, either for reasons of illness
or annual vacation leave.”
A similar policy for the police
department made effective some
time ago resulted in a “pronoun
j ced reduction” of absentees, Sei
bel said.

Find Bodies Of Ernest
Balsinger, Emil Laurin
Yesterday morning U. S. Mar
shal Ben Mozee and a party of
searchers found the missing bodies
of Ernest Balsinger and Emil Lau
rin in the ruins of the Lincoln ho
tel.
It is reported by those who were
in the building about an hour be
fore it collapsed that the two men
were working frantically trying
to save merchandise.
Emil Laurin, owner of the
building was a moner for many
years in the Kougarok with his
brother Hector who died a few!
years ago. With Joe Mullins as
partner he bought out Mrs. Jack
Devine in the early years of the
war and since then had become
sole owner of the hotel. He was a
French Canadian by birth with
his home in Quebec, where he has
several relatives. It is reported
that he also has a sister who is at
the Catholic Mission at Holy
Cross.
Ernest Balsinger, a Swiss, was
I for many years manager of the
Golden Gate Hotel here, from
where the big fire of 1934 started.
Since then he has spent most of
his time at the Lincoln. It is pop
ularly believed that he never re- i
covered from the shock that the
fire which started in his hotel de
stroyed the greater part of Nome’s
i business district.
The safe of the hotel, which was
I removed to the Polar Bar, is be
lieved to contain papers of both
men. It has not been opened.
