Theatres Get Tax Rebates Reduced After Barre Board Session
Barre civil authorities considered tax rebates on valuations of 15000 to the Park theatre 5000 to the Magnet theatre and 1000 to Lawrence C Campbell. After lengthy discussion five ballots were needed for Park theatre while Magnet Theatre and Campbell trusts passed on the first vote. Alfred Black argued the Park assessment of 650,000 was exorbitant noting sharp jumps in value and alleged fire alterations boosted quadrennial appraisal. The Magnet rebate of 500 was deemed fair given Park cuts. The Campbell family sought 3000 for old machinery and 10000 for new machinery. the board questioned values and ultimately approved a 2000 rebate on the old equipment. A total of 30 payroll tax rebates were granted to wives of top men who taxed their households.
