Mr. Kirkland, stated that the Treasurer M
formed the committee that tax Of rs cents
would pay one half the expenses for the cur,

one half the current expenditures, ...
Mr.. Peek believed that IS cents on a dollar
was as much as the people would cheel fully
bear. The tax would fall most heavily upon
land owners, who, as class, were owing We
something for their land, and would feel very
severely the burden of this tax. He was in
favor Of raising sum, certainly as large as
one half the current expenditure, but If the
hOunues paid by towns, was taken into &C
count us It ought to be, IS cents would, to,
gether with these bounties, make sum
more than one half of this current expend-
lures. Las"
