The suit which has been brought by the
tax collector, Edgar f.. Matteson, against
Treasurer John j. Arnold of the Warwick
and Coventry Water Company to recover
tax assessed against the company IN
1895 and which has never been paid is at
tracing considerable attention in the

tax on the plea that the Town Council on
the organization of the water company
voted TO exempt IL from taxation until II
was able to pay dividents on its stock.
Although there Is no doubt but what Mr..
Arnold's claim in this regard Is correct
many OF the stockholders i'm the valley are
of the opinion that the company was able
to pay dividends when the tax was as
sessed and feel that they have not been
fairly used by the officers ot the company
in which they invested their money. Inc
