letters of each name, and opposite thereto the residence
of each tax-payer, the several subjects of taxation, and
the values of each; and in a separate column, opposite te

jects with which he has been listed. The taxable sub-

acts imposing taxes for public purposes. The book shall
be made out by magisterial districts, and the commissioner shall
therein make a summary showing the total of the several classes
of property, and of the taxes and levies thereon, in each magis-
terial district, and the aggregate of such property, taxes and
levies in the magisterial districts composing said commissioner’s
