Letters From The People

pretty plain spoken in regard to the ac tlon of the board of supervisors in raising the eciualizcd vuluation of tlie city and the reduction of the township?, perhaps you may not argue correcily. It is possible that township property pays a larger per cent. of taxis than does the cities. How is it? Yours truly, Enquireii. Answer:- Tnere is not a supervisor upon the board lm', fully iimlcr.-laiuls tuut part of the business. City property is lways taxed to a lunch largi-r exteèt thuii country property. All instaure in mimi. The tax on the Delhi Mills property last year was $86.00 ; the Central Mills of this city, al most an exact reproductioo, built by the same man, baving the sanie capacity; (the only difference being an advantage of about $3,Q00 per yeur to the Delhi Mills in lts water power) costs their owners $157.00 in taxes, not quite doublé the Delhi Mills.
