  several 
  years 
  ago 
  and 
  within 
  a 
  year 
  was 
  sold 
  for 
  $15,000, 
  but 
  such 
  

   prices 
  are 
  extremely 
  rare. 
  

  

  Assessed 
  values 
  are 
  anywhere 
  from 
  one-half 
  to 
  three-quarters 
  

   of 
  sale 
  value 
  or, 
  as 
  one 
  assessor 
  expressed 
  it, 
  what 
  the 
  property 
  

   would 
  bring 
  at 
  a 
  forced 
  sale. 
  Tax 
  rates 
  vary 
  from 
  town 
  to 
  town 
  

   — 
  in 
  some 
  as 
  low 
  as 
  16 
  mills, 
  while 
  in 
  others 
  as 
  high 
  as 
  40 
  mills 
  

   on 
  the 
  dollar 
  ; 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  only 
  fair 
  to 
  add 
  that 
  the 
  latter 
  rate 
  is 
  found 
  

   only 
  in 
  towns 
  building 
  State 
  roads 
  and, 
  as 
  soon 
  as 
  they 
  are 
  com- 
  

   pleted, 
  the 
  ordinary 
  tax 
  will 
  be 
  resumed.

   affected

  business, 
  as

  trades
