decided to allow Lyndonville to cele-
brate without competition and hold
their celebration this year In ac-
cordance with this plan the executive
committee of the Commercial club at
it's meeting last Saturday voted that
a committee be appointed to have

Of course it is too early to adver-
tise any feature but the successful

have set a standard that will require
a first class celebration in every way
to maintain the reputation of the
place.

A petition in bankruptcy was
filed March IS, by Durmond M. Per

sets SIS.
1t was a merry rollicking even
ing of music and vaudeville which
the Dartmouth Strollers gave their
audience, a typical college boys
performance, at the Colonial Friday
evening. Every number took with
the audience and they manifested
their approval in the customary way.
The reader was unusually good, not
only in light comic selections but
also in his rendering of a sketch
from 'sIf l Were King" The second
tenor was a whole show by himself
and his impersonations of duck and
monkey were about the funniest
things seen here lately.

LISTERS IN SESSION.
Receiving Instructions from State
Tax Commissioner Regarding
Duties Under the New Law.


State Tax Commissioner J. E. Cush-
man of Burlington came to town yes
terday to meet the listers of Gale
donia County and towns from Essex
County who found it more conven-
lent to come here than to go to Is
land Pond. There was a full atten-
dance of listers and the opening
meeting was at 2.30 in Red Mems
hall on Railroad street. A session
was also held last evening and the
closing meeting is in session this
morning.
Lieut.. Gov. L. P. Slack was pre-
sent at the opening meeting and ad-
dressed the listers briefly regarding
the defects of the old laws and ex-
pressed the hope that the new law
might be more effective.
Commissioner Cushman went over
the laws with the listers and made
it plain that the listers must take
and recorded in the town clerks
Office before he acan begin duties as
lister. That they can only receive
inventories that they believe have
been filled out correctly and that are
properly sworn to. To receive an
inventory that is not properly sworn
to makes lister liable to a penalty.
If man refuses to make out and
swear to an inventory or if the lis
ters are unable to reach him they
shall take what taxable real estate
and personal property they can find
and if they believe this not enough
assess the man such an additional
sum as in their judgment is just
There is no doubling of a list under
the present law and an aggrieved
tax payer has the right to appeal to
the board of civil authority and then
if he desires to the county board.
