along this line we receive, and
were it not that long ago we be-
came accustomed to such letters
we would feel discouraged, but
when one man concludes that
the paper is no good and wants
it stopped another concludes that
he will subscribe and while we
dislike to part with old friends it
is pleasing to enter new names
as fast or faster than old ones
drop out.

The recent figures published in
this paper relative to tax values
in other towns than Durham pay
ing lesstax than we, should bewell
considered by tax assessors this
year. 1t is true that few people
in Durham believe that their
property is assessed too high, but
when we consider that Durham
is paying much more into the
state treasury than any other
town in the state, before the
values are increased there should
be some inquiry made to ascer-
tain at what rate valuations are
to be made in general. Durham is
paying too high a rate when a
comparison with some other
towns that claim great things
are considered.
