Farming lauds within the corporation are ngt so valuable as those without. Iknow Mr Crandell's worth about $6 an acre reutal; the lands north of Quecn St. might be worth $1 rental but there would require first to be $1,000 laid out on buildings. Mr Crandell's lands are not worth nearlyas.mnch for farming lands as Mr Marsh's, they are not near'y in 50 good a state of cultivation, Taking all Mr Crandell's farming lands together they would be worth $' @ maybe $5 an acre ren- tal.
