Names Valuation Increased o,ooo, 900

From information obtained at the office
of the board of State assessors it is learn
ed that the valuation of Maine will show
an increase this year of not less than
$40, 900, 900 and that the increase in
valuation the past two years will be APP
proximately $25, 100000.
Concerning the live stock of the State
it was stated that present indications
show falling off. One reason for the
decrease in young cattle is that on &C
count of gh price of meat fatted
calf six weeks old is worth as much as
a yearling, and consequently they are be-
ing put upon the market instead of being
raised. The increase in valuation is
due largely to the development of the
various industries.
