The Senate bill making provision for equalizing
the grand list was taken up.
Mr.. Kirkland said that it was thought by the
committee that the bill was intended to remedy
an evil now existing in the unequal valuation of
personal property.

some towns appraised the personal property very
low, and much below its real value, in order to
escape State taxation. He thought there was as
much propriety in equalizng the valuation of
personal as of real estate.
Mr.. Edmunds said he had no objection TO try
ing the experiment proposed in the bill. lie had
some doub.s about its securing the object de-
sired, but if it would, he certainly should be in
