THE WORK on TIE TAX BILL.
To-Day but little progress was made with the
tax bill, the House being engaged for two
hours on other matters. The clause taxing
bank checks two per cent was struck out and
tken reinserted. No tax is however to be i'm
posed on promissOry notes, checks or drafts for
less than $50. The tax on -conyeyances was
modified so as to charge those conveying land
worth less than $780, nothing; those OF land
worth from 500 to $500, 50 cents; worth
o7er $780, one dollar. There is little doubt
shat the Committee of the Whole will be
ehrcugh with the tax bill this week. The
Ways aad Means have promised 10 propose ne
substitute fog the bin as a whole and it is I'M
ierstood that none will be pressed from any
osser quarter. The sub Committee of the ScU-
ates Finance Committee are resdiDg the House
debates and making amendments from day To
day so that they will be able to report promptly
IA soon as the bill shall come from the House.
