BERLIN WAITING FOR GRAND LIST Increase in Total Expected When
 Work Is Finished VALUE OF AUTOS HIGH
Tabs Ninstrels Choose Bob Pagan as Interlocutor-Son Born to Local Couple - Berlinites Take Honors at Meriden Poultry Show.

Advance information concerning the work of the board of assessors on the books of 1926 give the towns assessment for the past year as slightly advanced over the 1925 figures. Although the board has not completed it's work as yet, com- pleted books on non resident proper ty and automobile property show that this years total will sufpass last years. No phenominal increase is expected upon the completion Of the work, but the steady growth Of the town is encouraging to those who have Berlin's interests In view.
 The total of nonresident property for this town amounts to S1,242,790 against the 1925 total of S1,1SS,6 690 and over the 1924 summary of S745,436. While the increase is not as large as last years increase over the previous year. it still shows that Berlin property is gaining value on the books.
 The automobile figures show a considerable advance over the total for 1925. This year will show s114,- 9S6 on the books as against $93, ,249 for 1925. The year 1925 however, did not show up favorably against 1924, which brought total Of S102,655. The reason for the de- crease in value for 1925 is not known and a steady increase from this year on is anticipated, 1925 being the one year when automobile values did not show any increase.
 The board of assessors spent to- day viewing resident property which had not yet been valued by the body. Although work in other towns has been completed and the grand lists for towns of the size of Berlin have been submitted. this place has not yet arrived at the total figures. Members of the board hope to com plete their work by February 1 in order that appeals might be sub- mitted to the board of relief on scheduled dates. ....
