     7  ment. The correct assessed value of such parcels shall be $3,846,200. In
     8  addition to the correction authorized by this act, the town shall relevy

    13  purposes of correcting the shortfall in revenue resulting from the cler-
    14  ical error described in section one of this act.
    15    §  3.  The sum of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000), or so much
    16  thereof as may be necessary, is hereby appropriated to the Bath  Central
