"What we should have" asserted
Mondell, "is n lifting
rather than a shifting Of tax burdens.
Not only is the present scheme Of
Federal taxes confusing, inequitable,
and, as to some OF its
features, confscatory, but the total
levy places an altogether unnecessary
and exceedingly harmful burden upon

SPECIAL VILLAGE MEETING

taken on the first article calling for
an extension Of the sewer on Taconic

sewer so as 70 connect up the Palmer

the sewer fund so far as il goes.
The article relative 10 the village
truck called for verbal pyrothechnics
from various persons present, and at
one time il looked as though the SER
geant-at-arms might be called in to
preserve order.
The fact that the truck had done all
the village road work during the past
three years at practically no cost TO
the village; that it had turned in a
profit Of nearly $1,000 over and above
all It's expenses on account Of the out
side work it had done; and also that
with small expense for broken part
the machine was in good working
order at the present time apparently
was Of little interest to trustee Petit

the utility and economy Of the truck.

error, although that was not what was
said but was what was meant.
1t was finally decided TO give the
trustees power to sell the truck and
buy a smaller truck.
