The present year, the quadrennial ap-
pralsal OF real estate in this State is to be

as listers. 1t seems hardly necessary to
subject the town to the expense of an an
pralsai 50 often as once in four years.
since The listers in the Intervening wears
have the power to increase or lower the
appraisal OF real estate in certain cases
Real estate Is not subject to 1uctuation so
much as personal property and if il was
appraised as formerly, once in six years, it
would be sufficient. The law establishing

town TO exercise wise discretion in the
