Rules on Taxes II
Mass. National Banks

Boston. Feb. 20.-Judge Lowell in
Federal District court in decision
handed down today ruled that L.
national banks in Boston and else
where throughout Massachusetts
may not recover taxes on capital
stock paid under the state laws to
the cities and towns in which the
banks are situated. In Boston the
amount involved is more than 49,
100000.
The ruling was on demurrers flied
b. the city of Boston and other de-
PENDANTS to suits instituted by the
banks. all of which sought to re-
cover the taxes which they had paid
under protest. In sustaining the de-
murrers the court held that the
banks cannot recover because they
failoi ~ bring suit within the time
limit OF three months. The disput
ed taxes were for the years 1917,
1918, 1919. and 1920.

Lakewood May be Winter
Resort, Arcadia Tea
Room Opens SUNDAY

Last Sunday there was a regular
exodus OF Skowhegan and Madison
people occupying various cottages at
Lakewood. 1t Is interesting to note
that In years to come that there are
good prospecs of Lakewood SO long
known as a favorite summer resort
OF becoming genuine Winter Sports
place. While definite plans have not
been yet undertaken Manager SWEET
has this week been having a crew Of
men complete the new addition to
the Tea Room and next Sunday this
will be opened to the public with a
roaring fire in the fireplace and with
the place warm and comfortable Ma
olson and Skowhegan people can find
here a center for refreshments and
social enjoyment after hike on
snowshoes or a skiing party. In adj
dition to the comforts Of the Tea
Room several of the Butler bunga-
lows will be for rent as headquarters
for house parties if SO desired. These
may be for week end parties or for
Sunday gatherings. These cottages
will be heated and lighted for very
moderate charges. Manager SWEET is
arranging to serve lunches at the Tea
Room on Sunday including hot coffee
things. These lunches will be served
between noon and z. M. Frank
Thibodeau, well known to patrons of
the Lakewood Lunch Room last sea-
son will be on hand to cater to the
guests. There will be additional car
service during the day leaving Show
hogan on the half hour beginning
with $50 A. NJ. until noon and then
leaving every hour beginning with
IL o'clock until =. NJ. The time of
cars leaving. Madison will Of course
be one hour later. Also for conven-
iCnce for week lend parties or for
those who wish to attend moving
pictures at Skowhegan or Madison
there will be a late car leaving Skow-
he@an after the pictures at about $50
Il NJ. on Saturday night and leaving
Madison at 1890 p M. 1t is the in
tention to continue this Saturday
night and Sunday service for several
weeks if sufficient interest Is shown.
As to the future of Lakewood as
real Winter Resort the management
will be guided by the desires of the
people of Skowhegan and Madison
and surrounding towns. There is
eV crv reason to believe that the man
agement will erect next summer more
cottages which with the Butler pun
gaIows will be so built that they VIII
be comfortable for winter as well as
summer and will be available Tor an
other season. There is no reason
why Lakewood shouldn't become as
delightful a winter resort as similar
p,aces have already become in differ
cnt parts of New England. the ne"
room at the Tea House Is ALREADY
long step in providing social center
for winter sport enthusiasts at Lake
wood.
With ideal winter weather and TINS
new attraction winter sports shou!d
take on new lustre and Sunday al
tcrnoon everybody should get ouI
doors and get the spirit of out door
re and see the beauties of Lakewood
| in cold weather.
At present those desiring to rent =,
cottage may do so by applying 10 H.
