The real and personal estate was assessed the past year to the amount of $193,387.00 more than last year, owing largely to a new method that was ordered by the Board, in hiring counsel to look up real estate and Probate Court records. Although the abatement of taxes has been larger the past year than in former years, we are free to say that the expense incurred has resulted in a decided gain to the town.
As the appropriation this year was $2,711.42 more than last year, we have been able by this method to keep the tax rate per thousand the same as last year.
