1t is indeed fine thing that the
people of Augusta will respond in this
manner to an appeal which was made

that SIS children and some adults
lave been made happy, and that this

Mrs. Cartilage was overjoyed at

SHAWMuT TAX CASE
GOES To LAW COURT
after HEARING WE'D,

Chief Justice Leslie C. Cornish
presided at the Kennebec County
court room Wednesday on a hearing
of appeal by the Shawmut Manufac-
turing Co. from the decision of the
County Commissioners which upheld
an assessment made in 1920 by the
town Of Benton upon the property
of the Shawmut Co.
The Benton assessors in that year
raised the valuation of the dam, wa
ter privilege. and property Of the
company from $4,000 to $4,000.
The company appealed for abate-
ment Of taxes: this was denied, and
an appeal taken to the county COM
missioners and thence today to the
Supreme court.
The firm of Weeks & Weeks of
Fairfield. represented by George and
Harold Weeks, appeared for the
Shawmut Co., and witnesses for the
plaintiff were first heard. Those
called to the stand in the morning
session were Harry Cook, in charge
Of the Shawmut Mfg. Co. plant at
Shawmut, Harry Green, a civil en-
gineer of Waterville, George Withee,
and John Eastman. both of Benton.
The chief features of the testi-
mony were directed toward estab-
fishing two things first, that only a
small part of the property assessed
was within the limits of the town
of Benton according to the acts of
Incorporation; and second, that if
the property is within the town, it
is greatly over-rated.
Attorney Harvey d. Eaton of Wa
terville appeared for the defendants.
He called for his witnesses John
Eastman of Benton, Ralph Leighton
of Augusta, Charles w. Jones of Au-
gusta, George M. Chapman of Fair
field. and Harry Plummer. Luther
w. Estey, Otis Brown. Leonard A.
Davis, Oscar H. Piper. and Ruben
/ Wentworth, all of Benton. Mr.. Hum
phries of Madison, who made a
special investigation for the State
Board of Assessors was also exam
ined at some length by counsel for
both sides.
The main point brought out by
the defense was TO show that the
middle of the Kennebec river had
always been regarded for taxation
purposes as the western boundry of
the town of Benton. A large mass
of documentary evidence was intro
duced in the case. and by agreement
of counsel will be distracted for
use before the law court.
-
, clusion of the hearing stated that the
case would go to the law court,
where it will be finally settled.
