TO TAX UNIVERSITY PEOPLE.
In Spite of Their Protest That They
Are Exempt.

Burlington, June 0.--At special
meeting of the board of civil authority,
called last evening by Mayor Roberts,
the city assessors were sustained in
their action of assessing the professors,
students and servants of the univer-
ity of Vermont The meeting was called
to consider the appeal OF Prof. n. f
Merrill of the university of Vermont
from placing his name on the grand list
The claim is made by Professor Merrill
that he is exempt from paying a poll
tax and $1,000 on the grand list,
It has always been the custom OF
the assessors to place the names of the
members of the university in the list
and make notation of the fact on the
margin no poll taxes being collected
and in the case of instructors an addi-
tional exemption of $1,000 on the grand
list being allowed
The assessors, however, have taken q
different stand this year and have placed
all the members OF the university staff
in the list, and will endeavor to collect
the taxes.
An amendment to the charter of the
university made in 1902, eleven years
after incorporation, exempted instruc.
tors. students and servants of the uni
versity from poll tax and in addition
81 900 of the grand list Of the instruc'
tors. The medical college came in un.
der this head when it was established
in 1926.
The charter OF the university, under
which the institution is now operated
desgnates the title as the university
of Vermont and State Agricultural col
lege. 1t was granted in 1865. The as
SCISSORS claim that the exemptions pro
vided by the amendment to the orig
inal charter in 1902 is not, therefore
operative. and on these grounds the
professors are to be taxed the same
as those not exempt.
