IER,iNov. Is, 1869.
10 the President Of the Senate:
SIR return herewith to the Senate,
without my approval, bill originating
in the Senate. entitled "An act in addi-
ton to cnapter 80 of the general stat
utes. entitled sOf the grand list
This bill provides that if the owners Of
stock in any bank, etc, shall remove from
one town to another town in the State
and shall omit, on or before the sixth day
of the next April, to give notice to the
cashier of the bank of his removal, III
shall be the duty" of the listers
of the town from which he re-
moved TO set his stock in the grand
| list of that town, and such person ID made
liable to pay all taxes which shall be as
sessed upon it in that town. 1t makes nc
provision, in terms. for the case where
the fact of removal is known to the cash
Ter in some other way, and he gives to TIT
town clerk of the town, to which the per
son has removed, the notice required by
chapter 81, section AZ of the general stat
utes, but requires absolutely, that If thu
Taxpayer himself shall omit to give thu
cashier notice of his removal, he shall b.
taxed for his stock in the town iron
which he removed, even though no re
turn of his stock is made by the cashier t
that town and it leaves it entirely I'm
certain, whether, if the taxpayer omit I
give the notice required OF him, but tn
cashier ascertains the fact of removal 9th
erwise, and makes return Of the stock I
the town to which such person has re
moved, he shall thereapon be taxe'
in both towns, or only in the town II
which he does not reside, and not in tn
town in which he does resde,of double ta'
alton was intended, the bill is defective i
not expressly so providing; for double tax
alton Tor tho same property il III tho ma
: ture Of penalty. which mp2t he cypress
ed upon the face Of the law, and cannc
be mere matter of inference. And il, in
stead of double taxation. 1t was intended
IA expressed in the bill, that the owner G
: the stock should only be taxed IN Tia
| town from which he has removed, and nc
in tho town where he resides, then
NAV DEPRIVE tna latter town of the benef
&C., 1s,1t f.E ha
a, town, or OF its officers, but as the resu
, Of the voluntary omission Of tue tn;
payer, and at the same timc give 10 sue
taxpayer full power 10 elect III whie
tewn he shall be taxed for his bank stoc
"a very convenient power FOR him
have, in a case where tho rate Of taxatio
, in the town to which he removes exceed
that of the town from which the remov;
is made, but entirely at variance with IL
policy of the general laws Of the Sta
/ the subject OF taxation.
G l am unable to determine from Il
terms of the bill, whether it was intends
merely to impose duty upon the ia
payer, and to provide that his omission
! perform that duty should not operate
0 enable him to escape taxation In son
= town, or whether it was also intended
}. provide that lac lnignt DC taxed IN DO
i towns, as a penalty for his omission
g perform the duty. And in either vie
II the terms OF the bill are 30 indefinite, al
r would so obviously induce litigation
al order to obtain judicial construction
:. it's intent, that am unwilling to give
! nv approval; although, if bill we
q carefully drawn in either aspect, 1T mig
provide very proper remedy tor an ex
D. ing mischief !,
/ therefore respectfully return the b
, to the Senate for their further consider
