A good share of this so-called farm property has been cut up into building sections and consequently a boost In values has taken place, thereby swelling the grand list, Another increase has been in the cases of people, who falled to file their lists on time and who were charged 10 per cent for the delin- quency, This list is slightly larger than last year and consists mainly of motor car owners. The owners failed to list their machines, but the ears were taxed, when the state motor vehicle department forwarded the number of car owners in the eity, Mrs: Sigourney Chosen Mrs. Lester G.
