the Bounty Bill which had
,sssed the House, and which they bad
Imeuded so as TO provide for p general
State levy to pay a bounty Of 500 for

u,ure calls. This plan dlspepses with the
Township levy, and provides that the State
shall rs';e tie money on bonds, to run
twenty years This will relieve us Of the
bounty tax for the present, and equalize II
as State tax OF the cad. The project
seems to meet with great favor and
think there is very fair prospect that 1t
will be adopted.
