The list of last year was $2,375.S13. making this years list nearly $2.0O0.0O0 over that oi year ago. The rate of taxation this year has not been fixed nor does anyone try to estimate il in the face of what the town will have to raise in view of the teachers demands and the cost of the new roads to be construct z To date no tax rate under 20 mills has been mentioned. making it appear probable that ii will be al least the aforesaid figure.
