The assessors' office Is now computing the personal property valuation of last year. Mr.

Vincent estimates that there must be increased real estate valuation of about 52,000,000 to make a one dollar's difference in the tax rate. The tax rate for 19-13 will be computed next week, Mr. This April Weather Means Better Victory Garden Crops not, thte weather victory gardeners. Believe It-or is a. break tor Louis A.

Webster, of. agriculture, so and he means it. "Victory gardeners may not realize it yet, but this spell of so-called bad weather may be a blessing In Webster said yesterday. "We've had early springs in tha past. Fine.

Wonderful. What happened to the amateur gardener? In many he got discouraged and quit altogether when he lost his first seedlings during a short spell of more seasonal weather which hit us later on. That'wouldn't help the victory garden program very much if it happened this year, now would it?" April Weather To Aid Webster, a farmer himself, is optimistic about the forthcoming growing always grown my best crops when the laU spring weather forced to plant later than usual. Things sort of even up, more or observed. Weather Bureau' statistics show this month's average temperature 3ve degrees below normal so far.

For cussedness, it surpasses every year on record with the exception of 1874 the normal temperature for the month was eight degrees below normal. "While the urban population is to gripe about this weather, groups of farmers are cheering about it," the state commissioner of agriculture said. "The Falmouth strawberry growers, who hope to harvest a half-million-dollar crop this year it very well. It keeps strawberry buds from opening and lessens chance of frost loss later think It's wonderful baoaoM crop isn't growing would in abnormally er. Fruit sepeeteUr men, like It because their slower to open and they are better able to control the green lice." "No sir," Webster said, not in Ihe least discounted by this April weather." Vincent said today.

Just how will much of be allowed rate de- by State Tax Commissioner-Henry F. Long seems to be the question. If the, assessors fixe a. rate which looks like a low enough figure, Mr. Long probably will not allow the city to dip into its vast surplus revenues.

Already the city has been allowed to use 578,100 in the available funds account and that amount might be enough to bring the rate down to Mr. Long's satisfaction.
