Not illustrated. 1915 Excerpt: ...runs within a hundred yards of the post-office. The streets are lighted with electricity supplied, through a special arrangement with the provincial government, from the power house at the insane asylum. There are no sewers, although these are particularly needed here to care for the rainfall, which at some seasons, according to one citizen, nearly "drowns the town out." The municipality owns no system of water supply. A good school building was erected about eleven years ago. In 1912 an addition was found to be necessary and was constructed. The fire engine and the municipal offices are housed in a substantial building which was paid for from the proceeds of a debenture sale in 1906 amounting to $7,200, the beginning of the town's bonded debt.

Disregarding the school debt, $14,200 was the debenture indebtedness which had been incurred before 1911.(l) The town had at this time a total assessed valuation of $358,502.50. The debt, therefore, amounted to but four per cent. of the assessed valuation. Moreover, this assessment was conservative. Land, buildings and personal property were taxable. Land in 1911 was listed at $139,733. Buildings and improvements, greatly undervalued, added a sum to the assessment roll almost equal to that of land--$135,630.
