Anti iSOaG-TaX Meeting.

The citizens of New Castle met on
Tuesday evening, Nov. 9Th 1852, for the
purpose of consulting together on the pro-
priety of paying the present road tax,
which they feel is an imposition j. r :.
Foot was chosen Chairman and E.. w.
Sherman, Secretary.
On motion, it was voted that commit
tee of three be chosen to draft resolu-
tions expressive of the sense of the meet
ing.
A M. Merrick, w. Meegen and ID. NJ
Haynes were chosen said committee, who
reported the following resolutions whic h
were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the citizens of this
District think that the present road-tax
law endeavored to be imposed on miners,
is oppressive and unjust in its character.
Resolved, That we as good, peaceable
and well disposed citizens, are strongly in
favor Of supporting the laws of our coun-
try, but cannot without showing our dis :
appreciation submit to a road tax so un-
just.
Resolved, That we believe the citizens
of Placer county have never petitioned or
otherwise asked the authorities of said
county to lay out any township or county
road, and that judges of the court or any
other authority of Placer county have no
power to call cut miners to work roads
which they neither use nor wtlt.
Resolved, That we will test the legali-
ty of the law attempted to be imposed on
US, before we will either pay fifteen dol
lars or work three days OH the road.
Resolved, That the miners composing
this meeting will subscribe their names to
an agreement to pay any cost that may be
incurred by any individual of said meet
ing who may be prosecuted under said
law.
On motion, that these proceedings be
published in the "Placer Herald"
