MANCHESTER A GOOD PLACE TO LIVE 
From the compilation of figures by 
the state tax commissioner it would 
seem that Manchester continues to be 
one of the most fortunate towns in 
the state as regards valuations and 
tax rates. No other town in the 
county, and only six cities stand 
higher than Manchester in valuation, 
and only seven towns in the county 
have a tax rate as low. 
Manchester valuation for 1914 is 
$16,785,200,—$55,000 more than in 
1913. Those cities having a higher 
valuation are Beverly, $44,637,135; 
Gloucester, $25,917,913; Haverhill, 
$42,296,553; Lawrence, $79,813,490 ; 
Lynn, $90,305,830, and Salem, $39,- 
632,600. Towns nearest Manchester

Manchester’s tax rate this year is 
$11.20, against $8.80 last year. The 
towns having a lower tax rate are 
Boxford, Middleton, Hamilton, New- 
bury, Rowley, Topsfield, Wenham. 
Nahant’s rate is $12, while that of 
Marblehead is $22. Swampscott has 
a rate of $16.80, Gloucester, $22, Es- 
sex $20, Ipswich $18, Beverly $15.50, 
and this, by the way, is the lowest 
of any city in the state. 
All of which seem to emphasize 
that Manchester is a good place to 
live. How many of the towns with 
rates lower than Manchester can 
boast of the civic improvements we 
have here,—sewer system, splendid 
harbor, excellent schools, magnificent 
beach, beautiful wood roads, stately 
residences, and—good streets, may
