WE are indebted to G. Def. Bancroft of
the board of listers for the following figures
relating to the quadrennial appraisal of
real estate in Montpelier. Total valuation,
81 537 800. The appraisal is made five per
cent higher than four years ago, when the
total valuation was S1,34S,52S The gain
! by way of improvements since the last
quadrennial appraisal has been about
! $4,000, less 100000 for railroad and gov
ernment property that has gone out of
the list. The appraisal is higher by S75,-
600 than in April, The advance is mainly
on the best properties The list was
filed in the town clerks Office last week
Tuesday night, and there have been but
two appeals in about a thousand cases
those of George G. Shepard on his home
stead, and Erastus Hubbard, on the Ken

his aqueduct. These appeals will be heard
at the listers office on Friday morning.
