 -The Town Plot school district has finally agreed to effect settle ment with Porter l.. Wood over the trouble which arose some years ago when MT Wood was tax collector for the district. The attorney endeav- ored to collect taxes, and some say they were for very small amount, by bringing the property owners in- to the district court and much liti- gation ensued. It was over these cases that Attorney Wood and Judge Cole had so many heated arguments one faying the other in grand style. Many of the property owners when they were notified that they were to be sued, settled rather than go to court while others faced the music and won out. The cost for the cases that Wood lost had to be paid by the district and that is where the trouble arose. For the past ten years the matter has been discussed at various times by the Town Plotters, but it looks now as if the affair would soon be adjusted. Philip Savard. George D. Hinman and James Tyack com- pose the committee which will audit the books and look over the receipts once more and effect final settle ment with MT Wood if they think 1t is for the best.
