A n. King, Esq, of Tunbrdge, had ram

one of his sheep, and in making search for it came

COLLECTION OF TAXES.

From observation and experience | am satisfied
that our system OF collecting taxes can be much
simphed and improved | recommend that the
existing lawson that subject be SO modified as TO
require the selectmen, other proper officers, Of
each town or city, to include in the same rate-bil
all taxes, whether State, County or Town, or
otherwise, duly certified to them as voted and as
sessed in any year, and that such rate-bill be
mitted for collection TO the first constable or
collector of taxes, in each town city, who should
pay the amount, when collected, to the respective
Treasurers Of the State, County, City, Town, Dis
trict, or Village, according to the nature of the
taxes. The expense Of collecting might thereby
be materially diminished, aud taxpayers would be
saved the annoyance OF numerous calls from diff
ferent collectors during the same year.

The present law regulating the organized mil
itia is wholly inadequate to provide an efficient
force that can be relied upon in case of need, and
your attention is directed to the sensible remarks
upon this subject in the report of the Adjutant
and Inspector General. Some portion Of the
public property in possession OF the militia is re-
ported in bad condition, and without more vitality
IN our militia system, 1t would seem necessary,
that this properly should be collected and placed
in safe keeping under the care of proper officer.
The signs of the times indicate that we, as pru-
dent men, should not wholly lay aside our arms,
but rather emulate the example OF the old Bay
State in 1851 and be prepared for any emer-
gency.
