FOSTER CENTER

When the Providence and Danielson
railroad was run through some years ago
it was arranged that the town Of Foster
should exempt the company from taxation.
Very soon after, however, a difference OF
opinion developed, which led to innumer-
able troubles. a. least the town took le-
gal steps to secure the tax, and the railroad
company fought the matter IN the courts
Out Of this has now come a mutually salts
factory agreement whereby the town is to
grant exemption for the first fifteen years
after the road was built, instead of twenty
five years as was first agreed, and the law
suits are to be dropped.
