Portland has a grievance. 1t is the
matter of its valuation as figured by
the State assessors. 1t is the only city
in the State where the per capita valu-
alton is larger than in Augusta, but it
doesn't enjoy the distinction. Gen.
Francis Fessenden has figured out
the situation as follows:
LIST. Portland has long been one of
the most highly assessed cities in the
United States.
2nd. It's assessed valuation per
capita is 20 per cent higher than the
average per capita valuation of the
other six principal cities in Maine
