Pierpont, and REYNOLDS.
1t was held BY the supporters of the bill.
that immense frauds we're committed in ex-
empting property from taxation, and that one
of the objects Of the bull was to obtain Stats
tics, with view to farther legislation upon
the subject of exempting property from tax
alton. Again, it was desirable, occasionally,
to take an inventory of our property. This
was as necessary with States as with indi-
viduals.
On he other hand, it vas objected that
nothing like an accurate showing would be
obtained: that we should be no nearer the
truth of the frauds practiced than before. 1t
was of no use to take an inventory Of part
of mans property. and stop there. 1t was
imposing upon the listers large amount Of
lator, ard would cost the State vastly more
than it would ever be of use.
On the question of the third reading.

Jones. Ayes l3. Noes II.
