PEAKS ISLAND TAXES.
The Inhabitants Barred From Appeal
to tho Commissioners.
At Least That is What the Statutes
Say About It.

The matter of their taxes still agitates the
residents of Peaks Island to greater degree
than high tides, easterly winds, and the
scarcity of fresh mackerel. Everybody is
talking about their:taxes and threatening to
sell out and go West If they are not abated
by the county commissioners.
A prominent citizen yesterday stated to
reporter for the PRESS that he was in error
in stating that assessors had said the Peaks
Island taxes could only be abated by the
county commissioners. The reporter re-
piled that he received that information from
the assessors themselves. "Well," sid the
citizen, "then the assessors were in error.
The intent of the law is that all persons
shall aid, not hinder, the assessors in max
ing fair and equitable valuation. There
fore the statutes Of Maine speak as follows
Chapter 6, section 90, page 14e. Before max.
ing an assessment the assessors shall give season
able notice In writing to the inhabit ants by post
ing notiications in some public place In the town.
or shall notify them, in such other way as the
town al It's annual meeting directs. to make and
bring In 10 them true and perfect lists OF their
polls and all their estates. real and personal, not
by law exempt from taxation of which they were
possessed on the first day OF April OF the same
year.
Section 93-If any person, after such notice,
does not bring in such list, the assessors shall as
certain otherwise, as nearly as may be, the ma
ture. amount and value of the estate, real and
personal. for which In their judgment he IS liable
TO be taxed, and he is thereby barred of his right
10 make application to the assessors, or the coun-
W commissioners for any abatement of his taxes.
unless he onerS such list with his application and
sa isles them he was unable to offer it at the time
appointed.
The succeeding sections "a, 90 and SO state
that If such list is presented, if the person
presenting it fails to take oath to its truth
or to answer the assessors questions on oath
an appeal to the commissioners is barred
Within two years, if the written applica-
tions are favorably acted on, the assessors
may make such abatement as they deem
proper, and If they don't do it, or refuse to
do it, then the commissioners may be APP
pealed to by the applicant.
Now, it is understood, the residents
of Peaks Island did not make such
return as is required by law. OF the first of
April, and therefore they were doomed" as
it is called, by the assessors. Consequently
blythe statutes, they are barred from max.
ing any appeal

PORTLAND, SEPT. IS. 1889.
T%HE two most proml-
i nent characteristics
of the undercloth-
ing, hosiery and other
things made by the Dr.
Jaeger's Company are that
they are of the bareSf ana
finest aOooI and are a6S0-
MteIJree from all e0(0r''ts
or other snyuy1ons matter.
In view of the prevailing
practice of manufacturers
to adulterate wooden fab
RIGS with cotton and other
materials, and the use OF
dangerous dyes, the guar
anteed purity of the "San-
itary" goods Or. Jaeger's)
is an important considera-
ton.
We have sold these
goods for the past three
years and the constantly
increasing demand for
them from people who have
investigated their claims of
superiority, and the great
number of recorders we
have received, is convinc-
ing proof that they are
worthy Of the effort that is
being made to get them
better known.
This season we shall
carry in stock a complete
assortment of the under
wear for men, women and
children and all the leading
grades of the hosiery made
by this Company.
The line is ready now
and the window to-day
contains samples of some
of the leading varieties.
We have the exclusive
sale here, of DR.. Jaeger's
goods and they are sold
nowhere else in Maine.
