LISTERS IN SESSION.
State Tax Comm ssioner Cush-
man Explains New Tax Law.

State Tax Commissioner Cushman of
Burlington conducted a meeting in the
town hall beginning Tuesday afternoon
at two o'clock for the purpose of in
structing the listers of Addison county.
The new law enacted by the last legis-
lature has made many changes in the
duties of listers. There was a very
large attendance, only three being alb
sent from roll call by counties. Mr.
Cushman complimented the county on
the excellent showing made by the
listers in their attendance. Mr.. Cush-
man was assisted by Mr.. Page in the
distribution of pamphlet on the gen.
eral tax law and reference was made to
its pages for the explanations of these
subjects. The following was the order
in which the business of the meeting
was taken up:
First-The explanation of these Sec
tions of the public status referring to the
establishment of lister meetings, the
state tax department, and kindred sub
jects.
Second nd-Instructions as to what con-
stitutes valid and legal grand list.
Third Explanation of the form of
the grand lists books and the new blanks
prepared by the department.
Fourth-An exposition of the new
status 1910 affecting the duties of
listers and the preparation of the grand
list.
The usefulness of the meeting was
proved by the number of the points
brought up by the listers and settled by
Mr.. Cushman. Among these is the
filing of the listers oath of Office with
the town clerk, instead of keeping it in
the grand list book, as has heretofore
been the custom.
The commissioner explained the form
Of filling out an inventory or assessment
blank, with the aid of chart which was
set up in the hall.
The final meeting was held Wednes-
day morning and the principal business
was the disposition of general questions
by the listers on many points relative to
their duties. These meetings are being
held in every county in the state and
are very instructive and helpful.
