POOR Farm WILL BE- TAXED
Commission Makes q Decision
Which Affects Six Towns.
Controversy Grew Out of Action Of
Wiliiston Listers In Putting the
Union Poor Farm In Last Of
That Town.

The Union Poor Farm Of Williston will
remain on the grand list and be subject
to taxation as q result Of decision re-
ported Tuesday afternoon by the COM
mission appointed by Tax Commissioner
]. f. Cushman, a few weeks ago. to give
hearing for the appeal made from a
decision Of the board OF civil authority
Of Williston. As this is the final court
OF appeal In such a case. the controver.
sy. which is about a year old. can &c
considered closed.
The poor farm is owned BY an associ-
alton Of the towns Of Williston, Essex.

and Shelburne. and is situated in Willis.
ton. Last March the listers Of that
town placed the farm and buildings on
the list and appraised them at $500 The
town Of Jericho and the Union Poor
Farm association immediately raised a
protest and took the case to the board OF
civil authority In Williston. which up.
held the listers. Taking advantage Of a
new act. an appeal was then made to
Tax Commissioner J. z. Cushman, who
appointed a commission. consisting OF
Allen Martin Of Essex. chairman, and r
J. White Of this city and q. A. Edwards
Of Richmond. to give q hearing.
Judge e. c. Mower Of this city appeared
in the interest OF w'illiston and L. F. vii.
bur Of Jericho for the other towns. II
was claimed for the association that the
poor farm was existing for the sole pur.
pose Of taking care Of the poor in the
different towns and that II was there
fore exempt under a statute which pro-
vides that '1and and buildings owned and
used by towns for the support Of the poor
therein" are exempt Tho commission
found. however. that the farm and build
inGs In question were owned by an asso.
citation and that. therefore. the act did
not effect It. Another point taken was
that the farm was situated in Wllliston
and in taking care Of the poor Of the
other towns Il was not taxing care Of
