Spfcial Ordcr.-Mr Bisbee of Newport moved
that II. 20, to tax deposits IN Savings Banks, II
being the special order for the present tme be
committed to the special committee raised on the
subject Of the grand list
Mr. Slade moved 70 amend 50 that the amount
Of tax shall be divided among the several counties
of the State, according TO their several populn
tions under the census Of 1870
Mr. llinckley of Chelsea opposed the bill a
giving preference to deposits in the savings hanks
over the stock in other banks. Ordinary bank
stock pays state, county, and town taxes. BY this
bill we only tax deposits in savings banks one
half OF one per cent to 60 TO the state, and is LA
Bile to no other tax lie was opposed to the dis
elimination made in favor Of savings banks.
Mr. Sade Of Mddebury said that the deposit
in savings banks only pay five TO six per cent
while other banks pay 10, IL or 10 per cent. Lei
this valuable stock, which is owned by capitalists
be taxed, and let the hard earnings OF the widow
and the orphan be left without the taxation m
posed ON other bank stock
Mr. llinckey said that now any sum in saving
banks less than $3.50, is exempt from taxation
every dollar is taxed. As TO the setting in the
grand list Of bank stock at less value than it i
worth, he thought it not applicable to all th'
towns and all the banks, il il might I've to others
1t would lead to cover whereby capitalists coult
secure their deposits from taxation, to which IN
was opposed in all its forms.
/ Alr. Slade said that the gentleman from Chel
sea was particularly sensitive about the widow
and orphans, but he would so fix their deposits "a
IN subject them To even more taxation than is pro
/ yided by this bill.
Mr. Jones Of Dover briefly opposed the motion
70 refer to special com on grand list, and though
it better to dispose of the whole subject now.
After brief remarks by Mr.. Kellogg Of Benson
Mr.. Mudgett of Cambridge and others, the mo
tion tJ refer 10 the special com. on the grand lis
was disagreed to.
The question recurring on the adoption Of tn
amendment proposed by Mr.. Slado of Aliddlebury
Mr. Grout Of Barton did not particularly oh
iect to the amendment proposed, but he though
il did not leave the tax on the deposits in saving
banks the same as on property in other hanks
There might be a serious objection to this bill oi
constitutional grounds. Perhaps savings bank
demand this kind of legislation, bat he was no
prepared to yute on it to-day, and moved that tn
bill be ordered to lie and be made the special or
der for Tuesday afternoon next, at 10 O'Clock
MIR. Field OF Guillord, made a statement O
facts but his remarks were not distinctly heard b.
the reporter, hut he WIS understood to favor th
hill.
After further discussion by Mr.. Grout of Bar
ton and Mr. Morgan Of Rochester, the motion o
Mr.. Grout was agreed TO-
BiHs read The third hme--ll l02, to incorpoI
ate the Bennington and Woodiord Rallroa
