The board Of civil authority in St.
Johnsbury has not had meeting since
1915 for the purpose of abatement Of
taxes, but in spite of that fact the
outstanding taxes, according to the
financial report just issued, amount to
only $3,663.62. That amount is sur
prisingly low for community having
such grand list as st. Johnsbury and
it speaks well for the philosophical
ness of the taxpayers in responding
to the call for the public support. Of
course, one reason for the small
amount of outstanding taxes is the
comparatively slight floating popula
tion of that village, as compared with
some other mill and factory commu-
mites.
