Table IV. — Valuation of Present Boston from 1822 to

This table shows the total assessed valuation [real and personal] in each year of the district [forty-six square miles] included within the present limits of Boston.

Data used have been taken from records and reports on file in the offices of the Assessors of Boston and the Secretary of the Commonwealth, and in the Massachu

setts State Library.

The returns of Charlestown, prior to 1842, and of Dorchester, prior to 1868, have been corrected to allow for the setting off of territory from those towns in the years named. Hence the valuations from 1822 to 1867 are estimated.
