WESTERLY, B. I. 



Beuter Tax Decision. 



Judge Edward W. Blodgett, of the 

 Rhode Island Superior court, has handed 

 down a rescript in the case of Charles 

 H. Nichols et al. against S. J. Eeuter & 

 Sons, Inc., formerly operators of the 

 extensive range of greenhouses in this 

 town, where the question was raised as 

 to whether or not the receiver should 

 pay taxes assessed against the real es- 

 tate, or whether or not the taxes should 

 be a lien upon the real estate. The 

 court sustained the position taken by 

 the receiver, that the land should be 

 held for the taxes.
