Incorporated Village of Westbury and make appropriate correction of
these subject rolls. If such exemption is granted and if the Incorpo-
rated Village of Westbury shall have paid any tax with respect to such
subject rolls, the governing body or tax department may, in its sole
discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid and cancel taxes,
fines, penalties or interest remaining unpaid.
