ALLEGES TAX IS
DISCRIMINATORY
Bill i'm Chancery by Owner
of 500 Shares in
Peoples Bank
MRS. LINDSAY ASKS
FOR INJUNCTION
Would Restrain Town. Village, School
District and Tax Collector - Decision
in Her Favor Would Increase Bank
Stock Value

A bill in chancery returnable to the
Windham county court of chancery was
served today by Sheriff Frank L.
Wellman upon the town of Brattleboro,
the village of Brattleboro, the Brattle-
boro graded school district and Frederick
Cressy, collector of taxes for the three
municipalities, brought through the law
Office Of Harvey, Maurice & Fits by
Mrs Agnes NJ. Lindsay of Bridgewater,
n H., owner of one-quarter of the stock
of the Peoples National bank. Mrs.
Lindsay seeks to prevent the collection
of taxes on her bank stock by the de-
PENDANTS, on the ground that the stock
is taxed at a rate that is discriminatory
under the laws of the United States.
Should the complaint be sustained il
doubtless will mean the removal of
| large amount of ~~0perty from the local
) taxation lists, not only in Brattleboro
but elsewhere in the state where there
are national banks. This naturally
would increase the value of national
bank stock, which it is now claimed is
taxed to the limit. and this fact is of
| special interest here in view of the pro
posed consolidation of the Peoples and
| Vermont National banks.
The complaint sets up that Mrs. Lind
say is the owner of 800 shares of the
1 capital stock of the Peoples National
| bank of the par value of $4,000, and
| that this stock was appraised for the
| purposes of taxation at $165 a share,
| making total appraisal of $50, 500, and
a grand list of SS25. The bill alleges
| that the town tax is for 81, 1925. the
| village tax SSST.7J, and the school dis
| trict tax SS25 The bill goes on to al
! lege that this stock il only. taxable by
| the provisions of the United States stat
utes and that these statutes prohibit the
i state or a municipality of the state from
greater rate than other moneyed capital
/ in the hands of individual citizens of the
state is taxed.
! The bill alleges that there is a large
and material amount of money loaned
| bv citizens of Brattleboro and the other
| towns in the state at a rate of interest
! not greater than five per cent, and that
! these loans are exempted from all taxa
! ton, making the grand list of the towns
and state much smaller than it other
wise would be. and obliging the plain
! tiff TO pay a much larger tax. and sets
| forth that this is an alleged discrimina-
| tion against the national bank stock and
| that the tax is illegal on account of this.
) The complaint further alleges that a
! large and material amount of money is
| leaned by individuals of the defendant
| municipalities and other towns in the
/ state TO counties, towns. town school dis
| tricts, villages and other municipalities
az rate of interest not exceeding FIVE
per cent, all of which is exempt from
