For Vd^^T^cinsl Exemptions
The federal or state government should 'pay village taxes in war
veterans' homes> many of .Wbli^x are exemjit £rom all tt part of tlieir
Bssi^men^,-.''l^illag>o-Treasurer Leonard'O. B. Smith told the Northeast
Civic ^ Association at >. Its • monthly
meeting Ftjday night in' V,F.W,
f/Ct. Smith mafie it clear that he
bellves veteran; toe entitled to -these
excmpttons, ba^ed on dtsabillty,
length of servioo,and other factors.
But be said Ehe legislatures which
granted them should provide lundsi
to reemburse the vlUages wtiat they
lose. In Sireeiiort, he said, oxerap-tlops
on assessments total near^ a
million doBat«. •,- .
._Tbfe^atempOqns "range up to a;t^
figure of.^,f>do, except for veterans
wlia tuH!^ lost,arms or legs or.fa^
similar (Usabilities, lVCr..Bmith said.
The e^-sen'icemen,must pay school
district and town taxes but are ex­empted
from some or all of their
village taxes. Tbe. speaker com­mented
that people freed of such
taxes often come from other states.
If Levlttown decided to incorpo­rate,
Mr. SmltJh revealed, only abmif
5 per cent of its homeowners would
pay/; their fintire village tax and
would probably move'jiout because
their share' would be enlarge.
