A Lower Tax Rate Possible?
SUGGESTION THAT A REvALUATI0N
OF REAL ESTATE WOULD DO 1T.

Editor Democrat:
In your last issue, in an article review
ing the Paris town meeting, you predict
a tax rate the present year of p mills, as
against Is mills last year. Now, Mr..
Editor, believe a careful readjustment
of the valuation of Paris would increase
it by 100000 to $250,OO0. 1t is true
some town meeting orators claim that
we are "over-valued and over.taxed,"
which do not believe. OF thirty-four
recent transfers of real estate, as record
ed in the Registry of Deeds for Oxford
County, the consideration named in the
deeds amounted to $40, 1900. The tax
ing value as returned by the Paris as
SCISSORS on the same property was $780,
$4,000. Some of those pieces of real
estate sold for two and three times their
taxed value, and not one sold for less
than its taxed value. With proper
valuation an IS mill rate is possible this
year, notwithstanding our increased ap-
preparations. TAX PAYER

C. w. BowKER, Chief Engineer.
Hobart A. Kenney and his family had
scare Friday night, which fortunately
did not realize fully what it threatened.
He started on the afternoon train for
Boston, intending to stay that night
with relatives in Yarmouth, and bad
with him pocketbook containing about
seventy-five dollars which he was to use
in Boston. That evening his father was
called to the telephone, and Hobart at
Yarmouth inquired il he had left his
money at home, saying IL was gone. A
thorough search and worried night at
home resulted, but the next morning
another telephone call relieved the situa-
ton by announcing that he had found
the money. By mistake he got 1t in the
wrong pocket, but 1t was safe.
