death but the condition of the ruins
was such as to prevent a close in

surprising to persons who have known
conditions at the property the last

ultimately recovered. Ivan Kempton,

sELEcTMEN AND ASSESSORS
To Hold Joint Meeting to Consider
Matter of Taxation.

The board Of selectmen and the as
SCISSORS are to hold a joint meeting
soon to consider the matter of taxa
ton for the current year. Under the
Law passed at the last general assem-
bly, property in the town must be as
sessed at the full market value
Consequently a radical change In the
assessment method now in vogue must
be made, and as the assessors only
have short time to d. their work they
feel that they cannot fully comply with
the law this year
1t is the belief that at the joint
meeting II will be decided to call a
special town meeting for the purpose
OF having a committee appointed to
make a re-valuation of all the property
in the town and then sumbit their ap-
prafsal to the board of assessors next
year. Then the town would be in a
position TO reduce the ten mill tax to a
rate that would be adequate to secure
the necessary funds for taking care
of the current expenses in the proper
manner.
