Patten, treasurer; Thomas D. Bradstreet, comptroller; William H. Corbin, tax commissiener, in accordance with section 2359 of the general statutes as amended. has added the amounts in the accompanying table to the October, 1908, lists of the respective towns, for state and county taxation: New London County: Bozrah $160,- 000, Colchester $160,000, East Lyme 140,000, Franklin $80,000; Griswold $500,000, Groton $1,000,000, Lebanon $90,000, Ledyard $50,000, Lisbon 3102'- 000; Lyme $130,000, Montville $250,0 0, New London $7,260,000, North Ston- ington $25,000, Norwich $6,000,000, 0ld Lyme $125,000, Preston $200,000, Sa- 1em $45,000, Sprague $350,000, Stoning- ton $750,000, Voluntown $75,000, Wa- terford $80,000; total $17,550,000, Windham County: Ashford $60,000, Brookiyn $500,000, Canterbury $40,000, Chaplin- $25,00, Eastford $40,000, Hampton = $15,000, Killingly $450,000, Plainfield $900,000, Pomfret $475,000, Putnam $1,500,000, Scotland $20,000, Sterling $200,000, Thompson $800,000, ‘Windham $3,000,000, Woodstock $150,- 000; tota] $8,275,000. Tolland County: - Andover $40,000, Bolton $40,000, Columhia $60,000, Cov- entry $150,000, Bllington $250,000; He~ bron $20,000, Mansfield $115,000; Som- ers $175,000; Stafford $1,200,000, Tol- land $40,000, Union $20,000, Vernon $300,000, Willington $85,000; total $2,- 495,000. Total additions -$151,472.000. ‘The board says: Several of the towns have revalued recently all of their “property with a large increase in the amount of the grand lists, and a proportionate reduction in the tax rdte, This action was taken with a desire to conform with the statutory requirement, and also with the definite conclusion that a grand list on a fair value basis and a moderate tax rate are of definite business advantage to the commupity. In justice to such towns, it has been necessary for the board of equaliza- tion to make larger additions to the other towns in the state than hereto- fore, This has peen done so that the valuations of the state will be more uniform, and so_that the towns that have revalued will not be penalized for such action. Tt has been necessary al- so to add to the grand lists of some towns, because of an acknowledged lower. percentage of assessment on certain special property, although an effort is made to keep the general proverty on a fair value basis. Th mount of the additions, in ev- ery { . has been base don definite information from taxing officials, per- sonal’ investigation, or other compe- tent . testimony. In nearly every in- stance the increase in the grand list of a town by a proper revaluation has exceede® materially the previous ad- dition by the board of equalization. A revaluation once In five years would result in a falrer grand list, fewer Inequalities, a lower tax rate, and a reasonable conformity with the statutory provision which ' requires property to be listed at its fair mar- ket value. Such action would be of dieflnflte ‘benefit to all the towng on this list. OBITUARY. Miss Sarah M. Nott.
