There is something Of curiosity to
know how the town Of Waidoporo VIII
nan out when the assessors make their
next census of the hen population.
There are two classes of population IN
the town, one of the people. of Whlch
there are perhaps $500 inhabitants, put
the next population is of the mems.
There were about 32,O00 of these at the
time when the last count was mace
by the assessors. This part or the cen
sus is looked after every five years.
What it will be- when the next count Is
made is something of question. Ihere
is perhaps no town in the state more
favorably situated for the purpose OF
raising hens than the little town OF
wal1ohorO. 1t is near the sea. so that
there is an excellent opportunity for
getting the clam shells and other SINH
lar things. and on the other hand there
is an excellent opportunity for snip
ming to Boston. A good part of the
hroi,ars that are used in Boston are
Skinned from that town and the peo-
ple there go into the business for all
that if is worth While perhaps some
of the people devote their whole time
to that particular line of business, yet
the majority carry it on as side line
When the assessors made their re-
turns to the State board they reported
tho number. That was SO large that
tho attention of the board was called
TO the fact In reply the State asses
sors wrote back that if they had made
any error in the matter it was that the
number was not large enough and not
that il was too large.
When the State board Of assessors
hos concluded its wrestling with the
wild land problem, it will devote
good deal of time to the manufactures
of the State. There is evidence that
the manufacturers have been making
changes in the machinery. both by ad-
ditions and changes Of the machinery.
What effect this will have on the val
nation OF the plants will be a matter
that the board will look into.
