what the valuation of the town was at this time. There is not the least reason to doubt, however, that the amount of real property held in the town was far larger in 1850 than in 1930.
The record shows there was taxed, in 1850, live stock as follows:
Horses
136
Cattle.
923
Sheep
1,308
The amount of money raised was $2,846.50. Of this $717.50 was a highway tax and paid in labor, leaving a balance of about $2, 129 to be paid in money.
The tax rate for the year appears to have been $1.50.
