LVESTER AND
PRATT LISTERS
Richmond and Wyatt Elect
ed Selectmen Today in
Town Meeting
BUSINESS OVER
WITHIN AN HOUR
Discussion on Three Articles only-4s-
cent Tax Voted-Bradley Corpora
ton and Brattleboro Lumber Cor
poration Exempted Five Years.

In less than an hour all the busi-
ness of the annual town meeting was
cleaned up today except the voting on
the license question, the ballot boxes on
that question being kept upen until
clock.
1t was one of the shortest annual
town meetings on record in Brattleboro,
with no general balloting except ON the
license question and no discussion ex-
cept on two articles. one relative to-
exelnpting two industries from taxa
tion and one asking for the construe-
tion of q sidewalk on Blakeslee street
From 250 to 800 voters were present
during the high tide of the meeting,
about % of whom were women.
The election of town officers pro-
ceeded with calmness, Walter L. Svl-
vester and George S. Pratt being elect
ed listers to fill vacancies, aud Solon A.
Richmond and Arthur ID. WYATT being
elected selectmen to fill vacancies. 9th
erwise the list of officers remains un-
changed except that o. B. Hughes was
elected one of the town grand jurors in
place of Harrie b. Chase, the latter now
being state S attorney for the county
The principal discussion came under
articles II aud I5 Article II was to
see if the town would vote TO exempt
from taxation the property of the c. E.
Bradley corporation, and if so for what
period of years. This concern recently
rented the vacant Crowcll building on
Elliot street, formerly occupied by the
Carpenter Organ Co. and established
toy business and brush handle business
there.
Major c. Houghton moved that the
property be exempted for 10 years. The
noes appeared to have won on the first
vote, and when the moderator called
| for the vote second time there was no
! question but that the noes were in
the majority. and the vote was so de-
| clared. but the matter was taken up
! again later.
| When the next article was taken up,
| to sec if the town would vote TO exempt
| the property of the Brattlcboro Lumber
corporation, which has taken over the
plant of the bankrupt Vermont Last
Block Co., Attorney Frank T.. Barber
| said he thought it a mistake to fail 10
| exempt the Bradley corporation, as
much effort was being expended to Sc
euro new industries, and in the past
other concerns had been exempt. In
| 1912 it was voted TO exempt the Last
! Block Co., but the concern did not con-
| tinuc through the exemption period. He
| moved that the new eoncern be ex'
| cmptcd for five years, tho exemption not
