PLUMLEY MEETS LISTERS.
State Tax Commissioner Holds Confer
ence with Them In Festival Hall -
Matters of Importance Considered.

The annual conference Of the listers
Of Windham county with Tax Commits
sioner Charles A. Plumley of Mortified,
as required by the statutes, opened
Yesterday afternoon at l in Festival
hall. The storm prevented many, who
otherwise would have been there, from
attending the meeting, only few over
30 being present as against an attend
ance of 80 last year.
Mr.. Plumley first made reference to
the bulletin he sent recently to every
lister and which is printed in this
issue. He then distributed print
ed slips calling attention TO errors in
that bulletin. This was worded
Please note that the following cor
rections should be made in the bulletin
as printed, VIZ;
Page ., section 4, line 8, strike out
the words "the debts claimed and es
tablished by"

'subd. (b) of Sec. 3 of No. "a of 1915, "
and insert in lieu thereof "Sec. t of
No. 81 of 1915
In his talk he called attention to the
changes in the taxation laws made by
the legislatures of 1908, 1910, 1912 and
1915 and emphasized especially that it
is the Indebtedness on which per cent
or over is paid that entities the tax
payer to an offset. Five per cent does

| 1915 which facilitates the collection of
poll taxes and to No. "a providing for
special deputies to determine the val
ne OF power plants, mills, dams and
other special forms of taxable proper
/ ty.
! He distributed examples in taxation
to the listers, worked out in detail,
| which cover many of the principal
! problems the listers encounter in their
work and which will simplify their
/ work if they follow the methods shown.

ing Account of Time in Office and
Other Details.

The carriers connected with the local
postoice are having an especially busy
week. Besides the hard going, which
makes it difficult for them to cover their
routes, they are keeping count of all the
mail they handle, besides various other
records. The separate records they are
keeping this week include the number of
letters carried, the number OF cards, the
number Of parcels under four pounds
weight, the number over four pounds
weight, the number of trips omitted, the
number curtailed the total number of let
ters returned to the postoilicc for lack of
time to deliver them, the total weight of
all mail delivered, the weights of the heavi-
est and the lghtest loads, the number OF
trips made, the amount of time spent in
the Office routing the mail, and the total
time consumed by each carrier on govern
meat work during the week.
All of this is required by the postal de
partment in order that the authorities in
Washington may determine the actual need
for any additional carrier service that
might be asked for by the local office.
