 Thompson, the town without debt, 1 is anticipating that a lower tax rate | will be laid during the present year. l Recently the assessors made a general 1 increase of 10 per cent. on all of the property in the town, so Thompson's 1 revenue will be liberal from taxes this l year. The tax rate fixed at the last l financial meeting of the town was IS mills. but officials believe that the l town will be able to raise sufficient | revenue to meet it's needs on a 1T mill 1 tax this year, and possibly Is mills 1 will be sufficient.
