Inc Town assessors nave SOt "cii
enough along with their work TO de-
termine the tax rate. The total valua-
ton is 81 ,339, 260, gain of only s+.O4O
over last year. While there was quite
little increase in some lines, farm stock,
especially cows, was reckOned at rath-

total assessment is S25, 1914, about
100000 less than last year, and the
rate is II l-2 mills against cents last

passed by the last legislature, exempt

war who are not assessed on more than
500 worth of property. There are
quite a large number of old soldiers in
town who are exempt under this law.

substituted for it that will give people a
day in which to get out and make merry
in the open, and fill their lungs with the
balmy spring air. The day this year
WAS only tha sacand really nice sprinO
