$9.40 Tax Rate for Manchester. 
Manchester’s tax rate for the present 
year will be the same as last year, —$9. 40 
on $1000. 
The board of assessors,—Chairman 
F. K. Swett, E. S. Knight and W. R. 
Bell—after weeks of steady work, were 
able to announce the rate on Tuesday of 
this week. It is probable that this rate 
is the lowest, or one of the very lowest 
in the state. 
The rate is based on a valuation of 
$13,271,263, which is made up as fol- 
lows: Resident, personal, $5,664,008; 
real estate, $4,388,620; non-resident, 
personal, $21,750; real estate, $4,196,- 
885. Of the total amount $31,320 is 
exempt from taxation, leaving an assessed 
valuation of $13,239,943 
In 1908 the total assessed valuation 
was $12,621,281, so that there has been 
an increase this year of $618,662 in tax- 
able property, mostly personal. 
The town this year voted to raise by 
taxation $120,000 against $110,000 last 
year. ‘This with money received from 
other sources makes the total expendi- 
tures reach to the vicinity of $225,000. 
G. A. Knoerr has just completed wir- 
ing the residences of F. M. Stanwood 
and E. W. Longfellow for electric lights,

The Greatest Woman Magician 
- While Hermann the Great lived he 
was the master magician of his time and 
the only person with whom he shared his 
secrets was his wife. Hermann was 
always devising something new, some- 
thing startling, and at the time of his 
death had partly worked out several illu- 
sions which he fully expected would sur- 
pass anything he had previously produced. 
His widow has been working on these 
ever since and is now ready toshow them 
to the public. The first presentation 
will be made at Keith’s Theatre during 
the week of August 23rd. Mme. Her- 
mann has appeared in public before and 
is herself a remarkable magician, so that 
unusual interest will be attached to the 
demonstrations that she is to make in 
Boston. 
The Fadettes will give their fifth week 
of popular concerts. 
The Kitabanza ‘Troupe of Japanese 
acrobats, who are said to be the favorites 
of the Mikado, are also on the bill. 
Frank P. Knight is having his newly
