Changes in Bath City Valuations 1876 to 1932
A graph traces Bath valuations from 1876 to 1932 showing shifting balance between real estate and personal estate. Real estate rose as shipbuilding declined, peaking near 12.2 million in 1920, then fell after loss of major ships works. Personal property grew with autos and household items, raising overall taxes risk if declines continue.
