A large number of interested citizens was present to hear MT. Bliss discuss the tax situation in Westerly and to hear him suggest va rious ways in which the present rate may be reduced.

Following his talk, he answered questions that had pre- viously been written to him by Westerly residents on the subject and discussed the situation in general.
