1865 IS Ivy; IN number OF dogs, SO2.
There is decrease in the value Of real
estate OF 1886. 565; by corrections in the
list, we suppose, making a deduction in
the list on real estate of 1866 So. The
Increase Of taxable personal property over
1861 is S448 868, which more than makes
up for the deductions on real estate.
The list includes National Bank stock,
but not U. S. bonds that are not invest
ed in bank stock. It is noteworthy
fact that the list Of the State constantly
increases, Notwithstanding the large in
ves.ments in q. S. bonds and the extra
ordinary taxation, State and national,
for the war debt.
