Aggregate value of all property a. squ.rod 442


duction ofvalues on many Of the products of
our county the equalization as made by US,
falls below that of last year.
The classes of land remain the same as at
last report, with the exception of Marion,
which has been raised to the class of Musce-
do, Wnterstown and Woodman, being in our
Judgment q town OF like value. A reduction
of 10 per cent. approximately, has been made
on all classes of land in the couRty, the same
being in our judgment equslzed at too high a
valuation. Much of the personal property re
mains as returned by the several Assessors,
there being in most cases a corresponding val
ne as compared with last year, and when any
material change has taken place III the return
of the Assessors, a careful invei tigatiOn has
been had. The Assessors Of the different
towns have in many esses reported an ad-
ditional value in Village property; others have
reported a less value than in previous years.
The equalization, however, remains similar to
that of last year. with few exceptions.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
