Mr.. Titus called for the readiug the
charter reported at the October session
for Incorporating the Scituate Manufac-
turing COMPANY. 1t being read, he
moved an amendment thereto, declaring
the corporate property taxable iu the
town of Scituate, in which the establish
ment is loo ated. The vote had been
called by the Speaker, and was about to
be declared by him, when Mess. Hazard
Halle, Tillinghast, and D'Wolf, opposed
the passage of the bill with that amend
ment at this time. They stated that the
subject of general law relating to in
corporated manufacturing companies,
declaratory of the species of property
it should be considered, real or personal
and the place Of taxation, was before a
committee. The charter would likewise
deprive widows of dover, in the corpor-
alton, and the right Of property would
require different evidence than now by
law required. The amendment was
supported by the mover, but with his
consent the subject rested until the re-
port of the Committee, on the genei al
questions. relating to incorporated man
ufacturing companies, should be made.
