CLEANED UP MATTERS.
Board of Civil Authority Held Meeting
Last Evening.

A meeting Of the Barre board of civil
authority was held at the city court
room last evening TO clean up some mat
ters remaining from previous meetings
relative to taxes. Only small repre-
sentation Of the board were present.
5 G. o. Averill protested against being
taxed for something he did not own,
namely $500 worth of billboards His
inventory was produced and ii showed
the billboards on the list and his sigma
ture at the bottom. Nevertheless he
said he did not know he was taxed on
the billboards until he got his tax bill
and found he was called on TO pay an
amount larger than he had anticipated
Mr.. Averill said he had signed the in
ventory, and Assessor Noyes told about
marking down the list in pencil, to which
Mr. Averill swore, and that later the
articles were filed in with ink. He said
the real estate was taken from the pre-
vious years list. When asked if he
had paid taxes on the billboards last
year Mr.. Averill said he didn't know he
had until informed later,
The board decided to give Mr.. Averill
a rebate on the billboard taxation.
The taxes Of H. I'll. Maxfeld and Rob
ert Peterson, men in the service, were
presented for action, and several mem
bers of the board expressed the opinion
that action taken at previous meeting
covered the case and that all poll taxes
of men known in the service at the time
should be abated.
Tax Collector G. L. Morris then pre-
sented a list of taxes on the 1914, 1915
and 1916 books, some of which were du.
plicates, others assessments on persons
now dead and those taxed elsewhere.
Most of these were abated,
