LAND•TAX ROOMS. GUILDHALL YARD, OCTOBER 211. At a General Meeting of the Commi&ners for railing the Milled Taxes, with the tcn per cent. thereon, in the City of London, convened for the cfpecial purpofe of taLing itta_conlideration the Bill (which wA ordered by - thr Horobtable Honfe of et.mmons to be 'minted on the Bth of Augnft) to amend and regulate the affeffMent and Collation of the Allred taxes: The following Reclotionsrnoved by Mr. Baooms WITTS, were onanirnonily agreed to: That the Cormuirtoners are defirotts of declaring their readinefs to lend every affillanee in their pewee to promote an adequate and prompt Colledioo of the Affeffed Taxes, at this period of peculiar difficulty and danger; but are of optnion that if the Bill to amend and regulate the al:ferment and colledtim of the affeffel taxes, which was ordered by the Horourable tioufe of Commons to be priatel on the Eth of Auguit, 18 37, fhould paffed into a law, it will totally deftroy the mild and equittnie fyitem which bat IrAg prevailed in the affeffment and ad/alien cf the duties it refers to, by' abolithing the office of Affdfor, and limiting the powers of the Comw.iffionerx by depriving them of their Clerk, and platting the whole management in infp,ctors and Surveyors appointed by the Treafury ; and it appears to the Commiffioners that fuch arrange ments cannot fail to vertafe the prefect clamor agaloft Infpee t ors aid surveyors, and tvdl alto tend to the iaconvetlience of his Majtily's fabjeds. 1 hat it appears to the Commiffioners,that although (onset:wing of =pence may accrue to Government by the abolition ot the three-halfpence in the pound allowed clothe Commitioners Clerks, under the 434 ota m. cap a6r, on the net ante paid to the Receiver-General, yet that the Calories and incidental ea?Coces of the Surveyors and Infpedtmo. in c irrying the proporal ASR into execution, will probably be tally equal to, it it do not cu e d amount of the prefent poundage allomd to the Clerks. That, in the npition of the Commit loners, the mede of affef- Eng by the Crown Officers In place of the Aceffors of the Diftrict, will tend to incteafe the number • f foircharges already the fubjea of much complaint, .a, it will be the intcrcit of the Surveyor that the affriftuents should bc'incomplete, inafrouch as his remunera tion is to be derived in part from his adtivity and diligence in making furchargei ea his own affiffinents, which mutt be allow ed to be a duty of a molt anomalous nature TIE it appears to the Comnifaioncrs that by depriving th em of having the backs of affellmults depofited with their Clerk, much inconveniei ve and trouble will accrue tothe Commitlionor s who hear the appt..is, as n.ell as to the individuals who are the fubjedis of affeirmell, and who have frequent and dmoft daily oc cations to refer to the affeffin_Tts, to be fatisEed that the demands made on them by the Collcdtors correfpond with the determina tion of the Comonflioners. That the Commiffioners are of opinion that the benevolent in. tendons of the Legiflature, exprefred by the A et of 43d George Ili. cap. 16 t, that the peralties incurred by omiffions may be replayed by albdavit, will be in a great meafure fruftrated by the provifions of the Bill now under *nib& ration, lie there will then he no office where the individuals can apply for i. , torma!ii. n and in:ln:Eli:xis to mike out their afbdavits. and to certify them to the Comma*. boners; and it cannot be imagined that the Surveyors and infpec ton will lend their aid to draw the aibdaiits which militate fo much againft their Intereft, and to which they have always !hewn themfelves fo averfe. That it appears to this Comratflion that great ineenvenience and much probable loft will accrue to the fcveral wards of this city, from the Coiledtors bonds of fccurity being drawn by, and lodged with the Surveyors and Infpedors,inftead of being depollted.with the Commiffioners as heretofore ;and that taking into conlideris don the very large amount of ATeffed Taxes at prefrnt ruffed on its inhabitants, and that each ward or &aria istuade liable for any defalcation or negled of their Colkditor, it is highly tea lo.!able 'hat the Conimiffintiers, adting in fosse mature as Trig- • :ea 'or their chow citizens, Mould have the euftody of thecalien. Zors . ”onus as well as a full and complete eontrool over them. That the Cominiffinners are of opinion that much irrcgularity• will occur if the enactments of the prefect Bill arc carried ip.o force, by which Surveyors and Infpcaors are aatiarifed to peo. cure 'he fignature of any two Commitlioners to the boas of AMTment without calling a meeting of the CommilPoners, and to make furcharges from time to time, and not at the tirecik dm, prescribed by tn.- Aitt of the 43d Geo. 111. cap 99. and the Come milbot;ers are all., opinion that much additional trouble will =Foe to them in hearing appeals againft fuppiementary affdr,nentsoms• finned by fuch furcharges, which are not dirzatd to be &Abed at any particular period of the year. That it appears to this Como , '&sr, that the proonfel alpha• betictil arrangement of the occupiers as the haus of ail tf ,ent will hr irsfficastous, and injurious to the revenue. as it is likely that more -.trillions of perfona and property will accrue by tits; method thau by the oftial progrcllive mod: of sillll nent, which. however, in the orition of the Commiffiontis, may be greatly unproved by an alpilatsetical 'That a Committee be now arpointed to confer with the Man eellor of the !':chequer upon the tubject of the 841. and to hate to him thT objeetions of the commillionsrs.
