[Adopted 12-10-1979 by (Ch. II,
Sec. 3, of Title Seven of the 1965 Code)]
The Town Council of the Town of Barrington hereby
finds that the General Assembly at the January Session 1979, adopted
Chapter 335 of the Public Laws of 1979,[1] which said chapter provides that household furniture and
family stores of a housekeeper in whole, including clothing, bedding
and other white goods, books and all other such tangible personal
property items which are common to the normal household, not exceeding
the value of $20,000 may be exempted from taxation with the approval
of the municipal government body. The Town Council of the Town of
Barrington further finds that it would be in the public interest to
exempt from taxation such property to said amount by reason of the
fact that administration of such tax would be burdensome and would
impose upon the Town of Barrington and its citizens unwarranted financial
burdens in excess of the benefits to be derived therefrom.
[1]
Editor's Note: See § 44-3-3(17)
of the Rhode Island General Laws (as amended).
There is hereby exempted from taxation by the
Town of Barrington all household furniture and family stores of a
housekeeper in the whole, including clothing, bedding and other white
goods, books and all other such tangible personal property items which
are common to the normal household not exceeding in value the sum
of $20,000.
