have been examining the assessment rolls. IN 1873
the total assessments on the town amounted TO
81. 593 $50, and the Harlem Railroad property was
assessed at $780, 900. In 1873 the total assess
ment was S2,59l, 153, and the Harlem Railroad
assessed Sl20.000 or $4,000 less
than IN 1873 The reduction in the amount Of the

fit of such reduction. Some residents of the town
