PORT&EMOUTH: Publiped by ]O HN MELC .H ER /).if Office in Market-Street, awbere Advertijements, Ariicls of Inielligence, ¢
are thankfully received and carefully injerted————;77This Paper contains all the Laws of the State pafied since January 1787.
The New - Hampshire Gazette, and the General Advernifer.
NOTICE is hereby given to the
inhabitants of the town of
Portsmouth to make out true and ex
a&t inventories of all tateable polls
and estates which they may be poi
{cfled of on the firft of April, agreea
bly to law, and make return of the
{ame to the Seleftmen of said town,
by the firft of May next, as none will
be received after that time.
The feleétmen also give notice to
the delinquentinhabitants of the town,
who have not paid their taxes, that
they are now under the ncceflity of
taking the most effectcal measures to
enforce the payment of all arrearages :
To evince the propriety of such steps,
they beg leave, for a moment, to call
their attention to the prefent——/rza
tion of the affairs of the town.—By the
great remiflnefs of some of the inha
bitants in paying theirjuft proporton
of taxes, the town has now become
deeply in debt ; we owe considerable
sums to individuals amoag ourselves,
to some of whom we have paid as
much interest as their principal a
mounts to. We owe large sums to
others out of town, and to {choolmaf
terswho have formerly been employed,
and now hold our securities for their
fervices.——Dßefides these demands a
gainst us, we owe a large balance on
the tax of 1786 and 1787, of upwards
of eight hundred pounds to the Trea
sury of the State, for the certain pay
ment of which the General-Court, at
their late feflions, have ordered ex
tents to issue against the Sele€tmen and
Collectors for a part on the 15th of
May, and the remuinder on the 15th
of June next, and we are now reduced
to this only alternative, either that the
payment of this debt thould be en
forced from those who owe it to the
town, or that the Sele¢tmen and Col
le&ors should pay it themselves. In
justice therefore to ourselves and to
those who have already paid their
proportion, we shall make use of every
endeavour and exertion in our power,
to aid the Colletors in obtaining
what is justly due from those who are
delinquent. Under these embarrafl
ments the greatest ceconomy ought to
be introduced in our expenditures,
and as it would be derogatory to the
reputation of the town to make en
gagements which they will not com
ply with, the Sele@imen therefore ex
pet to be furnifhed with the means of
supporting the poblic schools, &ec.
agreeably to the votes of the town.
If a fufficiency for these purposes is
not f{upplied, either some of the
{fchools, must be discontinued, or the
poor must fuffer———in which case, all
the blame, and every evil resulting
from it, must be laid to those who
withold their proportionable part of
the expence.
