Il will be seen that the taxable valuation
of tbe State was greater in 1857 than in
1856. but less than in 1855. The differ
ence was occasioned, in part by the ex-
emption from taxation of the excess of cred
its over debts, by the act of April l, 1856,
and in part by the rule prescribed in the
same law for ascertaining the taxable prop
erty of banks and bankers. This rule re-
quires two statements: one of the amount
of notes discounted, and all other property
and dues of every description belonging to
the bank; and another of the property en-
ployed in banking: and provides that a
rate shall be CHARGED upon the property
embraced in the first statement, which will
produce the amount whit b would be pro-
!duced by the rate charged on the property
of individuals, if levied upon the property
embraced in the second. This rule has
been found very inconvenient in practical
application, and has afforded an opportuni
ty for Withdrawing considerable amount
Of property from its just proportion of the
public burdens. 1t is too clear for question
that property employed in banking should
be assessed equally with other property
The decision of the Supreme Court of the
State supplies satisfactory rule for ascer-
tanning what this property is. 1 repeat,
therefore,, my recommendation addressed to
the last General Assembly: that the law
be amended as to require all property en-
braced in one schedule and entered upon
the duplicate for taxation, at the same rate
as is imposed on other property.
The foregoing schedules also show that
while the amount of State taxes has been
steadily reduced during the last two years
the amount of county and municipal taxes,
largely reduced in 1856 from 1855, have
increased, though not so largely in 1851
from 1856.
1t is worthy Of consideration whether
some further limitation upon the taxing
power of and municipal authorities may moi
be usefully imposed. respectfully recon-
mend also that provision be made by law
for the collection of taxes semi-annually In
stead of annually as at present. In that
case there need be no accumulation in the
State or County Treasures, but the mo
ney of the people will remain in their owl
hands till actually wanted for public pur-
poses.
The public debt of the State, of all de
scriptions, appears in the following state
