1876.

These fv.rures speak for themselves. The Mnis-
trates' Committee rashest the rateable value of the
county, from 1834 to 1861 i, no leas than C 130,124 ; and
they now propose to increase it by a further Anna of
£162,660, together 1:292,75-1 more than in 1854, and
£192.577 above the Union Assessment Committees
rate their respective Unions. Increase in buildings
account for a portivsn of this, hut it will be seen that
many purely agrieultural core-growing districts are
risen, where no new buildings can he found; this is
contrary to the well grounded belief that these
parishes have the last few years considerably dete-
riorated in value.
