There could have been a major property reevaluation done in Meredith at the time - that could have changed the tax rate in a drastic way. Another reason could be that there had been a surplus from years gone by and the selectmen voted to offset the tax rate with the surplus............. I'm sure FatLazyLess will chime in here at some point, he lives in Meredith and is very well voiced on the ups and downs and ins and outs of taxation in Meredith.
Looking at the tax history in the towns you are interested in is a great idea - I would also suggest logging onto all of those towns' websites and reading any board of selectmen's and other departmental minutes you can find, to get a handle on what is going on in each town.
