 Assessor R. H. Cowles has, In looking over the grand list, discovered a mis- take which makes quite difference In the receipts for taxes on the last list made out
 . Assessor Thomas Doonan made up the assessment list on the property owned by the Church of the Holy Trin- ity. The house on Center street hill was put in at s1.5OO and other pieces of property were down for S9.500, which would make a total of sll.000. But by Assessor Doonan's calculations in foot ing up the figures the total was put at 5000 instead of sll,000 and so placed upon the rate book, and the town tax was paid on $S,000. The borough list, which was taken from the town book, was entered at 5000. and both taxes have been paid to Collector Austin. The mistake Is the cause of about $l50 difference in the tax receipts. Evident ly Assessor Doonan. in footing up the two assessments, mistook the $9,500 for s1,500. and consequently changed the total from $11, ,000 to $S,000.
