Civil Authority Board Avoids
Unjust Taxation
AGAINST CHARLES MARI
Important Precedent Established Last
Night--Board Also Cut Down r. b.
Hutchins' List and Refused
Offset to c. NJ. Field.

Several precedents in taxation were es-
tablished by the board of civil authority
at its adjourned meeting last evening.
the first Of which relieved Charles Marr
from double taxation, the second permit
ted +. y. Hutchins to remove 4 sale
agreement from his taxable list and the
third refused the appeal 81 G. N. Field,
who asked for offsets on his stock IN the
Granite Savings Bank and Trust com
pany. A. A. Sargent was chairman Of
the meeting.
City Attorney Carver reported opin.
ions on all three of the eases. In the
first Charles Marr assisted Ionis Laneia
to buy farm lying in Barre Town and
Plainfeld and bond for deed was
passed. The status of the property, it
had been decided, was that the title rest
ed with Mr., Mari, and he was therefore
taxed for the farm, partly in Barre Town
and partly in Plainfield Then came the
city Of Barre and proposed tax MIR. Mari
again on the identical property, he be-
ing resident Of the city.
City Attorney Carver interpreted the
bond for deed as being similar in opera
tion to a mortgage, and he therefore re-
ported that the city could tax Mr.. Mari.
Attorney John WI Gordon appeared for
Mr.. Marr and cited supreme court
opinion to the contrary. The board of
civil authority, after viting that the ap.
peal be not dismissed passed motion
that MIR. Mars list be reduced by the
amount Of the agreement.
Short work was then made Of the ap-
peal of Mr. Hutehins, on which the city
attorney had reported the city had a
fright to assess, although from the read
ing of the agreement to sell the tax
should be assessed against Maria
Hutchins instead Of T. r. Hutchins. The
board granted the appeal, and the tax
list Of the said Hutchins was reduced by
the amount Of the agreement, minus the
Offset he had entered.
The city attorney reported that, in
view of the opinion OF the supreme court
in declaring the law illegal which refused
the right to enter Offset by non.residents
Of the state and the consequent repeal in
1900 Of the law, the city of Barre must
consider for the purposes Of taxation G.
n. Field as having the same rights as a
resident Of the city. Mr. Fields appeal
that he he had been Disseminated
against on the ground that he was non
resident was denied at a previous meet
ing Of the board The same action was
taken at the meeting last evening, how
ever.
NJ NJ. Gordon appeared for the board
and asked for a reduction on the assess
ment on his new house on Hill street on
the ground that the building was assess
ed April / as being nearer completion
than it really was. The board decided
that II could not hear any new appeals
and told Mr. Gordon that he might 90
to the board for abatement Of taxes
later in the year and present the same
grievance.
