The listers have received instruc-
tons from Tax Commissioner Chas
Plumley OF Mortified that the tax
exemptions voted at tho recent
March elections were all allowable
with the exception of that voted for
the Payne Brushback company Ac-
cording 10 the letter OF the tax COM
missioner il would appear that his
reason for not allowing the exemp-
ton in behalf of the Payne company
is that the title OF the property is
not vet in the name of the company.
The tax commissioner apparently
holds that exemption on any new
construction at the companys plant
would be allowable
