the report from the select committee appointed to inquire
into the law eni practice with respect to the rating of royal-
ties of mince. Hering taken evidence from all parts of the

quarries, end coal mines ere deemed to be rateable,
although other mines are not so, except where the royalty is
reserved in kind. The committee recommend that all mine,
be placed on the same footing, and that in noticing the mime-
meat on mineral property, of whatever deem iption, the
plant and machinery incidental to the working thereof should
be aseemed together with, and as part of, the mine, and not
separately.
