Board asks tax cut on stock notices at Silver Bow meeting
P J Brophy told the board he held no cash in banks and only 8000 shares in a Idaho firm of little value. A W Barnard claimed assets totaling 390 Starch, more than offset by debts. Attorney Charles Mason urged a $1000 reduction in the assessment for the telephone company, arguing double taxation on annual liens and business permits. The board adjourned without action after receiving a New York inquiry from John M Quinn about stock owners in Silver Bow county.
