To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The exempted property in Williamstown is 70% of the assessable property, whereas in Province- town the exempted property is only 2£% of the assessable property. What a great disadvantage Williamstown must be under ! Yet the tax-rate in Williamstown in 1905 was $18.80, and in Provincetown $20 ; and in 1906 in Williamstown it was $18.70, and in Provincetown Digitized by Google $19.50. Again the lower rates in the town where a college is situated, and which has exempted property amounting to 70% o...f its assessable property. It is a significant fact, considering the lamentable picture painted here of the condition of Amherst and Northampton, that both towns had tax-rates in 1904 lower than the average tax-rate in Hampshire County. I will put this matter in one other form. Cambridge is said to have $25,000,000 of exempted property. Now suppose some bene- factor or benefactors should give Harvard University to-morrow $20,000,000. Much of that sum would ultimately get into Cam- bridge as exempted property in buildings, collections, and appara- tus ; but the assessable property in Cambridge would not be dimin- ished, but on the contrary much increased, because the University would be made richer and better and would have more teachers, students and workmen whose expenditures would increase the busi- ness done in the city and therefore its tax receipts.
