CITY'S GRAND LIST
SHOWS BIG GAIN
OVER LAST YEAR

Burlington's grand list has grown to
500. 800, $780, which sum exceeds the grand
list Of last year by $s55.SS4. The city
assessors completed the grand total on
Friday.
At the present tax rate of 500. the
city in the coming year will have $1,000
more to spend than was the case last
year. And this In the face Of the fact
that the city has 11e less polls this year
than It had in 1917, due in the main in
stance to so many taxpayers having
enlisted in past months in either the
naval, military or aerial branches Of the
country's defenses. At the present time
there are 5,221 polls listed. but this num-
Der will be smaller when the exact num-
