Tarrant, wha.had charge of the latter part of the meeting of- tie Norwich Rotary club on. . . Wednesday noon -at- the Wauregan hatel. Mr. Tarx rant's talk was highly interesting. arid gave a clear and concise outline of the | Feal estate .and . taxation .situation . in Norwich. . T Mr. Tarrant sajd that as-far as the recbrds of Norwich #how. the first real estate transaction occurred “on Jume. 6 1659, when . three Indian.chiefs. Uncas. Oteco and Attawahood, deeded . to ‘the small band -af- settiers a tract . of. land containing 81 square miles. ' This land included the present towns of Norwich. Preston, Lebanon, Bograh, Lisbon ~and Sprague, and the purchase price was 70 pounds sterling. or at the present rate of exchange about §340. 'In compari son to this, Mr. Tarrant gave the ap- proximate cost of a plece of property 1o cated in the heart of /the business district in Norwich which was recently sold, fhe purchase price béing - wbout $3.15 per square féot. The -same - property was bought from the Indians: for about one and nine-tenths cénts per foot.
