ASSESSORS REPORT
In submitting this year's report we wish to thank those who have furnished us with a blue print or tracing of their land and ask that any who have plans of land that we have not copies of to please let us have a сору.
During the year twenty-seven new houses were started and the indications are that a larger number will be started during the coming year.
We have requested a larger appropriation for 1949 with the hopes of being able to bring about a better equalization of values.
In 1950 notes on the water loan will start to be paid off and those receiving advantages of town water will have an increased valuation. The exact percentage of increase we are not in a position to state at this time.
We have had several requests for the return of graphs, and we are submitting some for your study. We trust the comparisons will help you understand the increases.
Remember, the appropriations at Town meetings set the tax rate. The assessors only set the amounts to be raised to meet your appropri- ations.
