Bank and Corporation Tax 
The town of Manchester this year 
receives from the State treasurer as 
its share of the bank and corporation 
tax, approximately $52,000, an increase 
of more than $8,000 over last year. 
This tax is derived from the levy on 
stock owned in corporations in the 
State and on stock owned in national 
banks in other parts of the State by 
citizens of each city and town. The 
increased amount coming to Manches- 
ter this year is due to the efforts of 
Chairman Swett of the board of asses- 
sors, and the other two members of 
the board, who spent all last week in 
the office of the tax eommissioners in 
Boston, looking over the books of 
other towns and cities, with an eye to 
finding some shares in banks and cor- 
porations that were wrongfully as- 
sessed, and that are owned by residents. 
of Manchester. 
The actual amount received by the 
town for corporation tax will be $47,- 
173.14 against $39,613.28 last year, 
and $4,798.86 for bank tax against 
$3,193.30 last year. This makes an 
increase of $8,365.42. Last year’s 
increase over 1903 was $1,441.36.
