s14,e7e,s4s GRAND LIST.
Windham's Showing for 1912-Exemp
 tions Yet to Be Taken Out.

The grand list of the town of Wind
 ham for 1912 is s14,s79 s4s less the ex- emptions that will be daducted The assessors made oath to their valuation of the towns taxable property riday
 morning. The list of 1911 was SS,- 121,173. As statad in Fridays Bulletin, the committee on revaluati3n has aimed to place property in the list at its present full market value. They state that for the most part, owners of property have shown a desire to O. operate with them in 3. fair and frank manner in giving them the facts that would lead to correct conclusions. The tax commissioners, Dr. George r. Will cox. George E. Hatch and J. G. La
 plane, in a public statement issued Friday over their signatures, contain this statement:
 We have not manufactured lind values but have assessed them we found them and in many sections +h,. prevailing prices were a surpsise to the commission. The prevailing prices paid as indicated by recent sales, the concensus of owners values and where land was well covered with i'm provements the income derived after apportioning a fair share for such inn provements, were fruitful sources of information and from these ade ss- SesSed value was made No three hu- man beings can make an assessment of the taxable property that is abso- lutely just. they can only approach the spot and this We have tried to do without fear or favor. If errors oe judgment have occurred, and doubt less they have, we will be pleased to see them corrected There are this year shown in the western resident division 1854 lists; nonresident lists 1Sa: east division, resident. 3Z4; non resident, 72. This makes a total of 1889 lists in all or about 1G0 more than there were in 1911.
 These are some of the increases over the 1911 list that affect a humber of the largest of Willinantic's indus trial concerns: American Thread com pany, s1,922,S78; Chaffee Manufactur- ing Co., S11.o00; Holland Mfg.

S125.0o0. X 9-mill town tax was laid last year and a 10-mill city tax. The town tax last year raised $610 This year. on the present grand list, a B. mill tax will raise some $13,000 more than last year. unless the board of relief reduces the total grand list much more than it was reduced last year. A city tax of mills will also raise more money this year than was raised by the 10-mill tax last year.
