|Gentlemen:- ~
By the town meeting last Tuesday
evening, Feb. II, 1911, you were adj
yised that as to the suit against. our
company on account of taxes for l9lU,
YOU proceed on your own responsibility;
You have charged us with cheating and
detrauding the town on account OF
taxes of 1910. We desire now to state
in writing what we have stated to you
orally to wit:
We are ready to let any fair Judge
examine our books and accounts, make
all the inquiry he sees fit, including ex-
animation by experts, and determine
whether the amount our company was
assessed for in 1910 was not falr
assessment for property taxable to the
company in Vermont for that year.
We are ready to let Judge Tyler, Colo
mel HaSkins or Judge Waterman make
the examination and determination. Ii
you do not agree to either of these
three, We are willing to let Chiei
Judge Rowell of the supreme court
name a man. We will be glad to have
that the amount we paid for 1910 was
this done at once. If it is determined
not enough, we will gladly pay the
balance and all costs. If it is deter
mined that we did pay enough, we take
it that YOU can do nothing less than
do the right thing by us.
If it is really your purpose to do a
service to the town, you will, we are
sure, welcome an opportunity to avold
litigation and have the matter speed
lily determined.
We await your reply.
Very truly yours,
