MIR. Wood Of Fairhaven called up Fl.
Us, to legalize the grand list of the town
OF Hancock for the years 1869 and 20
upon interrogation by MIR. Bull of Han
cock, the chairman of the committee on
the grand list stated that the property of
Hancock was not put in at its true value,
and the listers could not make oath to it.
Mr.. Bull of Hancock said that the prop
erty was put in as high as the properly Of
other towns of the County and the State,
as appeared from the fact that the con-
vention of listers recommended that the
list of Hancock be reduced five per cent.

courtesy they gave to other towns.
