sum were added the amount exempt from

amount of revenue would be realized with the

remain at $3.50 the revenue of the city would
be increased, as is shown above, by more than

the year without the customary addition to
the floating and funded debts. There are
upquestioDably some species of property
which are Justly entitled to ex-
emption, but it is 80 difficult to
draw the dividing line that the ex-
emption Of any property whatever inevitably
leads, as it has always led, to the grossest and
most scandalous abuses. The whole thing is
wrong in theory, and we cannot hope to make
it any better than 1t is in practice. For this
reason the Legislature should not hesitate to
come to the relief of our citizens, and those of
the State at large, by repeating every law
which exempts dollars worth of real estate
from the burdens of taxation. Senator Nagle
has introduced half way measure looking to
the accomplishment Of this object; but 1t is to
be hored that it will be perfected by including
burial grounds within the reach of the tax
gatherer, before it is put upon it's passage.
