Valuation on Park Re-
duced $4,000 From
$4,000
MAGNET CUT 7H1
Z. N $1,000
Barre Boar s t Civil -Au-
thorities $ Considered
Ot2 Claims

Rebates of taxes on valuations OF
$4,000 to the Park theatre, $1,000 to
the Magnet theatre and $4,000 to Law
renee c. Campbell were granted by the
Barre board of civil authority at a
| two hour session in city hall last
night. Five ballots were necessary To
iustment, while those of the Magnet
theatre and Campbell interests each
went through on the first vote. All
three, however, brought out consider
able discussion.
Alfred S. Black, representing the
Park theatre, gave at length his rea-
sons for believing that the assessment
of $65,0O0 on the property was exorbi-
tant. He pointed out that the. assessed
valuation of the place had jumped
from $4,000 in year and that the
property next to his was taxed only
Sl7 500 He compared the valuation
placed on the theatre with that of
other buildings along Main street In
order, he said, to show that they were
out of proportion.
Mr.. Black declared that in his hon-l
est opinion the alterations occasioned
bv the fire in the theatre had added
no more than $4,000 TO the quadren-
nial appraisal of $4,000 made in 1918.
He indicated that the original price
paid for the property went to large
extent for good viii which he claimed
was partially wiped out upon the
opening of the Magnet theatre. Aft
er voting down, successvely, motions
to rebate taxes on $4,000, $4,000,
$4,000 and $1,000, a second motion
for $4,000 was voted in the affirma-
tive.
The $4,000 valuation reduction voted
to the Magnet theatre was given, in
what the board agreed was fair pro-
portion to the decrease in valuation
voted the Park theatre.
Arthur E. Campbell appeared in be-
half of his son. Lawrence c. Campbell,
a student. He told the board That
machinery valued at $4,000 recently
had been purchased by his firm to re
place machinery worn out. On April
/. when the assessments were made
he said, the old machinery was in op-
Grafton and the new machinery was IN
the process of installation. The new,
he claimed, has been placed in opera
tion since then and the old machines
disconnected and left on their beds
awaiting disposal He was assessed
for $4,000 on the old machinery and
$4,000 on the new and requested that
he be given a rebate on the old outfit
as it was practically worthless.
He was questioned at length by
members of the board and in the pro-
cess declared he did not believe the
old machinery to be worth much more
than $500. The $4,000 rebate was
voted on the first ballot.
Two men who have yet to taste the
sweets of connubal bliss were voted
rebates on poll tax bills made out 10
their wives. A total of 80 toll tax
rebates were voted.

in her presence in the states attorney s

two crimes.
He reverted largely to the first OF
his many confessions and indicated,
officials declared, that he planned and
executed the murders without as
sistance.
Neither Clarence Wilder nor Milton
Walker. named by Church as accom-
plices, officials said they had been
convinced had any part whatever in
the crimes and they also expressed
doubt whether Leon Parks assisted
Church. despite his detailed confession.
Officials pointed out that Parks
stoutly maintained his innocence un-
til confronted by Church who then
supplied most of the answers TO ques-
tions put to Parks by the investiga-
tors.

DID NOT REACH
ADJUSTMENT
Conference Between G. G.
/. A. and Employers on
Wages and Condition /
CUTTERS DESIRED
FIVE-DAY WEEK
And That Present Agree
ment Extend for Two
Years More

No change has resulted in the agree
ment between the granitecutters and
manufacturers following the labor CON
ference which recently adjourned in
Boston. 1t appears that the several
granite centers working under the Bos-
ton agreement asked for the conference
on the ground that the present bust
ness situation called for a readlust
ment of restrictions imposed upon ma
chinery and a revision of wage sched-
ules.
1t is reported that the G. c. l. A. de-
clined to recommend to its members
any concessions, but instead proposed
an extension of the present agreement
for two years from April !, 1922, at a
minimum of 81 per hour, which is the
wage now in effect. In addition the
cutters committee wanted ye-day
week of 40 hours and provision
whereby all tools at present furnished
by the stoneeutter would be supplied
by the employer.
In view OF the Wlde dlHerehce IN
views, il is said that no agreement was
reached as to a recommendation to be
referred to the graniteeutters and man
ufaeturers in the various centers. The
maintenance of war time rough stock
prices in such centers as Barre, Quincy,
Mass, and Westerly, r. l., is said to
have entered largely into the consider
alton of the cutters committee.
The granite cutters were represented
by the following delegates: Joseph Ric-
ciarelli and j. McKernan of Barre, Ro-
meo Magne of Montpelier, w. G. keat-
ing of Bethel. Frank Parsons of Con-
cord. n. H., A. w Russell and Alex.
