THE GRAND L1ST-STANDARD OF
VALUE

Ii seems impossible that the Grand List.
as given in the statistics of the state. is any
equitable basis for the estimation of the true,
or comparative wealth of any part of the
State. The law provides for O just appraisal
of both real aud personal property, to be
made under oath but in some places and
probably in some counties tho listers do not
take the oath. but fx upon some sum as the
average value per acre of the land ia town,
perhaps one-half or two-thirds its cash value.
and then make slight variations as various
localities are moro or less eligible. In like
manner stock is appraised, and whore the
landholdcr is fortunate enough TO be in debt
for one or two farms. with a very low apprai-
sal. hc can throw out of his list an immense
personal property, raised and kcpto on the land
for which he owes. IN another county, lis
ters take the oath they appraiso all property
according 20 the cash value, and the list is
