BOSTON is AFTER
BIGGER REVENUE
That Theatres and Motion Picture
Houses Don't Pay Enough.

BOSTON. March %. - A special conn
mittee. which has been investigating new
sources of municipal revenue, reported to
Mayor Peters today recommendations
which. if carried out by law. would add
81. 500. 900 to the citys income.
Increases in the license fees of the
atres. motion picture houses. dance halls
and other places of amusement were IN
cluded. the committee pointing out that
theatres now pay only SloO a year TO the
city.
1t was suggested also that the atten-
tion of the state and other city authori-
ties be turned to the adyisability OF inn
posing local retail sales taxes.

RADICAL RULING
ON TAX LISTS
Detailed Inventories to Be
Required of All
Business Men
TO SUBSTANTIATE
LISTS GIVEN IN
Decision Reached Last Evening Likely
to Have Far Reaching Effect on the
Towns Grand List, Already the Third
Largest in the State.

Largest i'm the State.
A decision that is likely to have a far
reaching effect on the size of Brattle-
boro's grand list was reached at con-
ference of the selectmen and listers last
evening. 1t is that merchants. manufac-
turers and tradesmen generally will be
required to file with the listers detailed
inventories to substantiate the accur-
acy of the valuations which they hand
in for purposes of taxation. This de-
cison, it is understood, is in accordance
with suggestions made by the state tax
commissioner at his recent conference
with the listers of the county.
just how much difference this ruling,
if literally infOrced, would make in the
size of Brattleboro's grand list is prob
lematical. but one man was heard TO
express the opinion this noon that it
would almost double the amount OF
property available for taxation.
There are a good many persons who
characterize the plan of the selectmen
and listers as unwise, arguing that
Brattleboro's grand list is now so large
that the town pays what appears to be
more than its fair share of state taxes
On the other hand, farmers who always
have been obliged TO file detailed list:
say that what Is sauce for the goose Il
sauce for the gander.

Views of Residents on

Garbage Disposal, Traffic Regulations,

Among Other Matter Considered-Junk
Dealers Protest

Garbage, schools, sidewalks, hydrants,
traffic regulations, charter amendments,
curfew laws and police protection were
among the variety of topics discussed
at the public meeting which the village
commissioners held in the Chamber of
Commerce rooms last evening About
80 persons were in attendance and the
session lasted from to $50. Chairman
L. W. Gibson of the board of commits
sloners presided.
The consensus of opinion seemed to be
that the commissioners should supply
the village with new and more cap
able police force, that the present hityor-
miss garbage collection system should be
discarded in favor of something more
efficient. that the village limits ought to
be extended westward as far as tile
Centerville schoolhouse at least. that
the village should adopt a curfew law,
that the hydrants of the village water
system should be tested more frequently
and that the Brattleboro Water Works
company should furnish fire department
officials with more information as to.
valves, shutoffs, etc
The session was opened with discus
sion of the question of license fees for
junk dealers. Morris Levy, Sam Zarr,
NJ Black and NJ. Gissen were heard on
this subject and the tenor of their re-
marks was that the present fees were
altogether too high. Mr.. Gissen made
the most effective argument against the
