| funds and hence tbs Recommendation as to
| this provision, IL will also DC seen that a
portion Of the supplies Is proposed ic Be rails

ton Is al itic b cause il is uncertain whsthCr
! the whole aIuouut for military contingencies
sill he Hactisd, and. IN this uncertainty, The
Commits desire not n burden the people
oi tBe State iGF a larger amount than is alb
s.iiu.eiy qIiTed b direct taxation, while
care is taken that sufficient funds are provi-
ded for the contingencies of the State. The
Committee have been necessitated to appaT-
entity raise larger amount than the estimate
# wants calls for; this discrepancy arises
from the fact that many of the subjects OF
taxation being new, no true data exist for
what am cunts wili De realized; to the best of
their ability the Committee have estimated
what silt b. derived, and prefer exceeding.
rather than falling below, the wants OF the
State.
