Annual Reports of the Selectmen, Treasurer and Road Agents of the Town of Chichester

Taxes as defined above have increased by leaps and bounds in recent years. In 1903 the sum of all the taxes assessed by and Within the state of New Hampshire was in 1913 it was an increase of or 63 per cent, in ten years. But these figures do not adequately represent the velocity the upward movement has now attained. To show that it is necessary to divide the ten-year period: The levy in 1908 was $924, or 17 per cent. Greater than in 1903, while that in 1913 was ori 39 per cent. Greater than in 1908. By so much did the advance in the last half of said period exceed that in the first half. These figures will be the more alarming if it is remembered. That while taxes already sufficiently heavy were advancing 63 per cent., the population of the state increased only about per cent, and while the one was advancing 39 per cent, the other increased only about per cent.
