Manchester Assessors Place Valuation Up; 
Bring Taxes Down. 
The valuation of assessed personal 
and real estate in Manchester has 
this year passed the ten million dollars 
mark, according to the table of ag- 
gregates just completed by the board 
of assessors. 
While the figures show a noticeable 
decrease in the number of persons as- 
sessed on property this year, yet the 
total valuation shows an equally ap- 
preciable increase in the valuation of 
estate .aSsesged77 sy Pet: Sincrease 
amounts to over $500,000, and this, in 
view of the fact that the amount to 
be raised by taxes this year is prac- 
tically the same as last year, admits 
of a fall of 50 cents ona thousand in 
the tax rate. 
Manchester can now boast of as 
lowa tax rate as any town in the 
‘Commonwealth, in consideration of 
the improvements,—such as_high- 
ways, water system, parks, schools,
