work In Washington County ON Saturday
last. In Hagerstcwn districts 21 and rs the

is thought the new assessment will reduce
the rate to about 80 cents on the 500. The
basis in the county, calculating from the re-
turns, will be increased about $4,000 900
which will send down the county rate also
and which is now 70 cents on the 800.
