This is q medieval romance of southern

with Mr.. Franklin II. Sargent of the Amer

In support of their statements about
the general prosperity they have found
over the State of Maine on then
rounds. the past year, the State as
assessors can adduce some rather
startling facts and figures. When the
reports of about half the towns were
in, for the past year, the assessors
estimated from the figures of the town
assessors that the valuation of taxable
property in the cities and towns had
increased about $6,000,0 900 since the year
before. a little later, it began to APP
pear that the increase was over $',0oO, =
900, and now it is very evident that on
the most conservative estimate the IN
crease is over $S,000.0Co. the largest
that has been shown in any year since
the board was organized in 1891. The
total increase in the valuation of tax
able property in cities, towns and
plantations since 1890 has been SCI ,000,-
eco. Add to this the increase of .$27,-
100000 on savings banks, the $13,000,-
900 on trust and banking associations,
the $2,00o,GO0 on loan and building as
socations, the 81, 900. 900 on national
banks, and the $I,00o,0G0 on wild lands,
and it brings the total increase since
1890 up to $l25, 100000, in round num-
5era, and the most of the figures given
cover only the time up to last year.
Al this leaves out Of the account the
enormous increase in the valuation and
