the whole ground in relation to the extension Of
time for the collection Of taxes in the various towns
of the State, was taken up. and motion that il be
ordered To be recommi,ted to the committee to re-
por, complete, was lost. The necessity of some
general law on this subject Is evident if from no
other reason han to efect saving the time Of the

Mr. Lorr, however, objected to the bill on the
ground that by allowing the tax collectors to post

ducive of remisrness on their part Considerable
debate was had, it being also argued, that even if
the bill passed there would be full as many spplca-
tons for extension of time as there are at pre-
sent. A motion was then made that the bill be in
definitely postponed, which was lost.

scussion on this bill had taken, that with some
amendment it would meet the appreciation of the
House, and therefore moved lis reference to the
