Old Tax Assessments

| An interesting bunch of time dis
colored papers were found the other
day by Assistant State Treasurer
Warren D. Trask, while looking for
some other docume ats. which when ex-
amined proved to be tax assessments
of the year 1928. Everything about
them showed their age-the SO years
which they had passed filed away ir
the darkness-and the contents again
proved it in the size Of the figures and
the location of the places by counties,
some even having gone out of ex-
istence.
The first one noted was the assess
ment for the town Of Augusta, it being
