bates. 1.-THE other Is cases we're dis
missed.
B. W. Hooker was elected moderator
of the meeting. There were several
cases where parties had been asked to
age limit and in other cases it was the
reverse, the person assessed not, being
of age. The strike situation was the
cause given for one or two requests
while illness also had it's portion.
Several persons appeared before the
board with the claim that their prop
erty had been over assessed, claiming
that the appraisal was above the pur-
chase price. Charles Zanleoni appeared
for the Barre Drug company. He
claimed that his appraisal had been
raised $500 while his stock has been
visibly decreased. Mr.. Zanleoni claimed
that he was told by the assessors to
submit an inventory of stock and that
he would receive the usual rate OF re-
duction or about 20 per cent. He
claims that instead of this he was
given 5000 off the inventory and his
taxes raised considerably. He asked
the board for a rebate in view OF tie
fact that his store was the smalles, ii
the city and at the same time was
taxed more than any of the other drug
stores. His case was dismissed by the
board after due consideration.

the fact that the building had been APP
praised at only $4,000 for the com

the petition after some consideration.
