corporation tax this year Manchester 
will receive from the state $42,198,18, 
as against $43,639.38 last year. Man- 
chester is one of the two or three 
towns not getting a big decrease 
from the state this year. Most of the 
cities and towns lose heavily, and, in 
fact, everybody figured Manchester 
also would be a big loser. For in- 
stance, Gloucester last year received 
$21,584, against $1,151 this year; 
Salem receives $15,212 this year, 
against $45,443 last year; Lawrence 
$8,325 this year against $140,246 
last; Rockport $49 this year against 
$1,471 last year. Manchester will re- 
ceive as its share of the National 
Bank Tax $8,504.24, against $7,906.-
