The Grand Trunk is the third heaviest rate -payer in town, its road- way being assessed at the rate of abont $150 an acre. This is somewhat higher than rimy property in its vicir.ity, and after cArefully:going over each separ- ate assessment the court made a total reduction in the whole assessment of $1500.
