My dear Editor:
/ notice in the columns of your paper,
under date Apr. 21st, an article in reference
to the Jno. G. Peene property and the town
of Westmore, signed G. L Nutting. This
think is the fourth time the matter has
appeared IN your paper; for the first time
i respectfully ask space to answer. MIR.
Nutting states there are some who do not
understand. The supposition is that peo-
pie outside of our town and not tax payers
in our town do not care; but the legal
voters and tax payers fail to understand
show board of civil authority can meet
without notice and without taking oath
and submitting to town clerk for record"
and attempt to abate taxes on real estate.
1t is not uDderst God where Mr.. Nutting
got bis authority to draw On order on our
treasurer and give 1t away. / believe it is
understood after the town clerk submits
the abstract to the secretary of state, after
the time of hearing persons aggrieved,
the assessments constitute the grand list.
Mr.. Nutting says the listers went into Mr..
PeeDe's house. We were taken into the
house by one having charge. Does Mr..
Nutting understand what the statute
means, when it says the listers shall pro-
coed and make such personal examir alton
of the property which they are required to
appraise as will enable them to sppraise
at its true value. The listers had sufficient
reason TO believe, at the time we were
taking personal list, that there was a
piano. No one appeared at our meeting to
hear persons sggrieved and one hundred
dollars was assessed against Mr.. Peene
over the true value of his estate, and we
will take our hats off and say that one
dollar and ejghty-five cents should have
been abated instead of $42 55 OF the poor
mans money given away. When 1 say
abated, mean at legal meeting OF the
board of civil authority. In regard to my
making statement comparing Mr..
Peene's list with the Fox and Carpenter
list, it is absolutely false and without
foundation. The Fox and Carpenter
fam lilies are missed not. only by their three
poll taxes and taxes on their real and
personal estate, but as neighbors. Mr..
Nuttipg also speaks of a dreaded lawsuit.
will ask all fair minded tax payers
which would cause a lawsuit, the listers,
who took the Vermont statute for their
guide, or Mr. Nutting, who made statute
OfThis owng AT March meeting the. town
refused to accept the selectmen's report.
Ii Mr.. Nutting has such great desire to
keep the town of Westmore out of a law
suit, why don't he put his hand in his
pocket and pay back the money he gave
away? Now / do not think the county
paper the proper place to disc uss town
matters and will suggest that an explana-
tion be made before our town, at which
place / will answer If called upon.

POINT IN BLAIR WILL FIGHT
DEFENDANTS MIGHT BENEFIT FROM
NEW SECURITIES WORTH MORE
THAN OLD

Inc suit before Vice-C Chancellor Emery, at
newark, begun on Monday for a construction
OF the VIII Of the late John l. Blair involves the
point whether the defendants shall receive from
the estate only the comparatively moderate
amounts set down for them or whether they
shall share in about S2.JD0OOg additional from
the estate. The will provided for the creation
OF SIX separate trust funds each OF which
composed Of substantially equal amount of
railroad and bank securities between 100000
and $4,000 in each lot The income Of these
Itnds was to be enjoyed by as many Of the
Iestators grandchildren, during their lives.
Nearly all these securities have been either sold
or wiped out Of existence by the liquidation, re-
organization or consolidation of the many rail-
roads and other corporations represented by
them; and through the exchanging incident to
such operations the value of the equivalent
paper acquired has in the twenty years in ques-
ton not only doubled, but in a few instances
multiplied The result has been that virtually
none of the original securities stipulated in the
trust funds is left for the several benefciaries
to take

the defendant benefcaries hold that there IS
an OBVIOUS spirit on the part of the maker OF
the VIII 10 take of all his grandchildren IN
equal proportion, and that the trustee is, by the
purpose OF the testatOr bound to make good
the amount of each benefit which they declare
il was the intention of Mr.. Blair TO provide.
This total deficiency must be made up by
the trustee out of the residue OF the estate
which includes the securities which took the
place Of old named in the will This forms
the bulk OF the estate, and is the inheritance OF
