'INt commercial Bank OF Manchester, am IN
lormcd, was not assessed, because the act to
tax bank stock PROVIDES IT shall be taxed az
provided m tue act on incorporation. The char
ter OF that bank contains no clause in relation
TO taxation Some OF the banks have refused
TO give TO the assessors description of their
real estate, aledglng, that inasmuch as their
capital stock was exempt from taxation, no
taxes could be imposed on their real estate,
Efficient measures will, in due season, be taken
TO enforce the collection Of alt arroarages OF
taxes now due, and to collect taxes of all the
corporations liable to taxation, under the exis-
ting laws, which have not been regularly as-
sessod,
Believing the right of the Legislature to tax
any property in her borders to be unquestiona-
BILE, ! recommend that tax Of one quarter OF
oneper cent heimposed ON the loans of all the
banks in the state, except those that are, in
good faith, constructing the Railroads they
were chartered 70 make An individual who
oanshs money at interest is taxed one quar-
ter OF one per cent, but he who invests it in
bank stock and draws interest on three dollars
for each one he pays in, is exempt from taxa
ton, by an express provision in some of our
bank charters, and in most Of them the tax is
limited to one quarter of ono per cent. ON the
capital paid in. This is clearly wrong. II
enables the stockholder of bank to draw
tribe interest on his money, and exompts him
from the burthens of taxation A tax Of one
quarter of one per cent, on the loans and dis.
counts of the banks, not engaged in the con.
struction of Railroads, would yield an annual
income of more than seventy-iive thousand
