The Assessment q Tax Laws.


We have received from our represen-
tative, Mr.. TRuMBULL, copies Of the new
bills reported by tie Commissioners ap-
pointed by the Governor 10 revise the
Assessment and Tax Laws.
One Of these bills, collects, simplifies
and arraDges the present laws, making
several needed changes, but leaving the
form Of assessment, collection of taxes
and sale of lands, Substantially the same
rs now.
The other bills are full Of radical
changes, some Of which are unobjec.iona-
lie, and some, we think, ve'y objection
able indeed.
These bills provide, FIR instance, that
at tho expiration of the time for redemp-
ton, lands which have been sold for tax
es, shall be 4. eied, without any ?uL ic
notice being given. This Is wrong
With the many mistakes which unavoid
ably occur in the paying of taxes aud ia

that men find their land advertised for
deciding when they did not know there
was any charge against it. 1t is unjust
10 land owners, and would work much
confusion and damage, to deed away

possible notice for n short time previous.
