Assessors' Report
-
This Town was one of the few Towns on the Cape to be visited by the Hurricane and several heavy gales and still have a small loss in valuation from the damage they caused.
The loss was mostly old barns with very low valuation. Several of these will be replaced by structures of higher valuation in the near future.
The loss in valuation was less than two-thousand dol- lars and there has been enough new building to overcome this.
At the 1944 Town Meeting there was talk of a Tax Rate of $24.00. After communications with the Tax Commissioner a rate of $25.00 was set. This was done without taking any money from available funds as the Town received $3,528.82 from the Gasoline Tax which was not expected.
Though the Town has a good balance in the Surplus Revenue Account, now with the State losing so much in revenue, their funds to the town will be smaller and this balance will be needed to stabilize the tax rate in the future.

Report on Sales of Tax Possession Land
The past year there have been quite a few sales of land as the report below will show.
There have been many inquiries and it looks as if there would be many sales in the future.
The expense of $592.17 you will find itemized in the auditor's accounts of tax possession land.
This expense was not broken down and charged against the lots as much of the surveying was done on lots not sold yet.
There was a fee of 5% charged for showing lots, use of car, and etc.
