PROBABLE COMPROMISE.
The Central Vermont and City now Nego-
tiating over the Tax Assessment

tiating over the Tax Assortment.
1t is understood that the Central YER
mont Railroad company and City Attorney
A. &. Whittemore are comforting with re-
gard to a compromise on the tax assessment
of the city on certain railroad property
here which amounts to $918. The com
pany claimed at hearing before com
mittee of the aldermen that the property
assessed was used in operating the railroad,
and was therefore exempt from taxation.
The city maintained that the property was
leased by the Central Vermont and was not
used altogether for railroad purposes The
terms of the compromise are that the Cen
trail will pay something like - per cent Of
the assessment, or about 1913.
