I'll amount is 913. 2l6.426. Tho small
ness Of this sssessment IL not At all
gratifying TO citizens OF the place. In

cent. in 4 tWelvesponth, IL does mot
shov . gain of 30 Per oeut. In TEN years.
And instead Of proving Portland The

claiming 5000 inhabitants, has An
average taxable wealth Of only about
