On the basis of our present grand list
which is about $4,000 the proposed
new library appropriation of $3.50
would make tax of ono per cent, per
sons with only a poll tax, two cents, a
grand list of fifty dollars, fifty cents.
Our present grand list, not including
non resident bank stock, numbers 847,
of this number 50 lists are fifty dollars
and upwards. There are 10 lists of one
hundred dollars and upwards, and four
lists of two hundred dollars and up
wards OF the 847 lists 52l are ten dol
lars and less 1t will therefore be seen
that on oui present basis four persons
would have a library tax of two dol
lars and upwards, nineteen persons a
tax of between one and two dollars,
twenty nine persons tax of between
fifty cents and one dollar, 274 persons
a tax of between ten and fifty cents,
and 521 persons tax of ten cents or
less. We make this schedule to show
that the burden of taxation cannot be
oppressive and we do not believe there
will be a dissenting voice in town
meeting next Tuesday.
Several freseoers came from Boston
this week and are working on Mr.. u
III. Moore's house.
