LIST day Of January Of each year" The second
section Of this act repeats the first section of the
old act of 1853. For some time this act was con-
strued to permit hucksters to use one wagon In
tnelr business without paying an additional tax,
but that construction has been set aside, and
hence the contest
The defendants argue that the horse and wagon
used by them ought to be as free from tax as the
tools In mechanics work shop, and ask why
they should be made to pay two or three times
for the same property; They regard the old con-
sIucnon as the intention Of the law-make s, who,
taking the view that, as their horse and wagon
were essential to their business for the privilege
OF which, they were licensed, these were included
In IT. That, az the horse and wagon would be
fair to tag them a third time That, as the horse
ana wagon were not engaged in the public carry
Ing trade, they ought not to be taxed as wagons
that Were And they hold that the law provides
for the licensing OF the additional stand or
stands and the " additional wagon clearly i'm
plies that the first were included in the license
