estate, first class, ! ,:}6l ,22I 30: second |
class, Soil, S62.72; total real estate,
; ,oI6,O4S.72. Personal estate. : 30,
159.SO. The real estate in the list of
lSS2 Amounted to : ,9S3, 500. u. and |
the personal estate to -, I4I .94I -.
The decrease in the list is owing to the
fact that under the operation of section
% of the corporation law enacted by
the last Legislature certain property
which went into the grand list last year
Is out entirely this year. Another
cause for the shrinkagc is that in lSS2
Bradley BarlOw's personal list was
1881 ,757, while this year it amounts to
$1,000. These things account for the
decrease in the list.
