MAYORS MESSAGE.

Objections Stated 10 the Act Exempt
ing New Buildings from Taxa
ton.
The following message from Mayor Nor
ris. which is regarded as veto to the
present form of the act lately passed by
the City Council exempting from taxation
for corporation purposes all buildings
erected in Nashville for the ensuing three
wears. was presented to the Common Coun-
Gil at its session yesterday afternoon:
MAYoE's OFFICE, Nashville, April II,
1S7O.-To THE Hon. CITY COUNCIL OF
NASHVILLE: After maturely considering
can act to encourage the erection
of new buildings, and the improve
ment of vacant. lots in the city
of Nashville" which passed the Conf
mon Council on the 10th and the Board
Aldermen on the Seth of March last, as a
bill in lieu of an original bill having the
same object in view, return it respect
fully to the same house in which it origin
ated. with some objections and some sug-
pestions of amendment, which will doubt
less be fully appreciated by the City
Council.
Should the bill, in its present shape,
become an ordinance, serious difficulties
and complications may arise in
carrying its provisions into effect.
1t provides that no building
shall be exempt from said tax, on which
the work of construction was begun pre-
vious TO the enactment of the law" but it
does not declare what specific acts shall be
considered a beginning of the work of
construction. A difference of opinion
10 x.yh0 inf q no
ginning of construction, within the mean
ing of the law. Another important onls-
sion. it seems to me, is failures of the bill
to require formal application on the part
of those who would claim the profered
exemption. 1t is suggested that each
claimant for exemption under the law
should file his application with the Recor-
der, and take from him certificate that
his building is within its provisions, and
that the Recorder should furnish the As
SCISSOR with list of all such exempt build
ings at the beginning of each fiscal
year. To guard against misrepresen-
tations as to the time of common
cling to build, it might be well to
provide that it shall be the duty of the Re
corder, when such applications are made,
to send the City Marshal to the lot or lots
designated in the application, andascertaln
whether the building hash commenced.
These additional provisions would certainly
relieve the Assessor of much difficulty In
separating exempt buildings from such as
have no exemption under the law.
need scarcely add that fully appre-
ciate the importance of encouraging the
creation of buildings in the city, especially
buildings to be used for manufacturing pur-
poses and as dwellings for citizens IN mod
crate circumstances, and that my sympa-
thies are heartily with the trainers of the
bill. If it is within our powers of legisla-
ton to grant such exemption as itprovides,
its passage into an ordinance will be an
important step in the direction of popula-
ton and consequent municipal wealth.
This consideration renders it all the more
important that the law should be as thor
oughly guarded in its provisions as to rem
der its application simple and easy.
