The resolution relative 10 grand list or Windsor
County beng called up,Nlr Russ moved 10 di,ni,, |
It, the listers oi the county having carried out The
statute us they understand il. Mr. Davis Ur y |.
a,cirrd that the list WAS extremely unequal, and |
that the listers had moi rGuallHcd il, as iul,nd bi
the statute: he deemed the resolution necessary ~ |
the standing committee could not cQua'lze the I,l
~ between the towns. This inequality uurs, rem
rdlrd. would stand for five years, aud the renpd,
mus he given here, ~ Il g time for the listens 10
act had passed. Mr. Wurdner said the listers had
me, IN accordance wllh the act aud had not alter |
ID the list, thinking they cOnd not better il. Mr. |
prltibune deemed the resolution unnecessary. Mr.
Wnslnw opposed the motion In DISMISS: the listens
had declined In equaizc The list, lie presented Il
b,,,, i,,,, in nf

been complied with. and To undertake here TO re-
wise the action Of the listers, hooked Ike an appeal
from the finnI decision of The case. This was
moi within the reach Of the IIousr, and if it un |
dernkes Ia assume power IN this case, u might hr
compelled 10 revise the Ii. IN every county. NJ

be- 10 amend the statute ,hnd was therefore nm Hhon-
NJ, in lrgi,la,inn lie cohrurrrd in the views Of |
Mr. IIehald, aid indeed urged that il the llonsr
could review ihr lists of counties, 81 Of towns and
even Of lndN idunls. Mr. Davis could not urrrdr !
10 tho sentiment that the House could not undo |
what it had already done, or that it could not give
Justice in case like this; nor did he consider h, /,
an appeal from the final drcslon; II WIS matter

the members Of tia, county might he salcly left |
Ia nudge in the n.dIicr.--ihey certainly would moi |

Garfield sad ih,s WAS substantially an rfcl to re-
peal The li,tingdw, or 10 make nrw one by simple
resolution. 1t opposed IN fact that the House
