In making up the valuation of the town, the list of which is here submitted for your inspection, the Assessors have endear- ored to make the burden of taxation as nearly equal as possible. We would herein recommend that the Town at no distant day, have a map made of the centre and Globe Village districts, giv- ing number of feet of land and location of property owners, which would greatly facilitate future boards in making up your town valuations and remove all possibility of an injustice being done to anyone in regard to land measurements. etc.
