BULLETIN No. 235 APRIL, 1927 



FARM TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS 

 IN MASSACHUSETTS 



By Hubert W. Yount 



The increasing cost of government brings about a two-fold tax problem: 

 Rrst, equable distribution of the tax burden; second, getting value received 

 for tax money spent. This bulletin concerns itself primarily with the 

 former phase of the problem, particularly as represented by assessment 

 practices in different towns. The second part of the problem will be dealt 

 with in a later publication.
