THE town of Dummerston brought suit
last week for 5000 against George Knapp,
one of its listers. Twenty-siX instances are
given where the inventories are not pro-
perly filled out, and there have been some
cases where people whom the selectmen
threatened to sue have paid taxes on pro-

law is very specific and strict in these mat
tiers, and subjects lister who takes an in
Ventory which does not answer its require
