sented by the majority Of the committee,
beg leave to submit this report, embody-
in their objections to the same, without
eoin,y into lengthy srgumsnt in support
Of thstS views. In the fnst place, they
are of opicion that the sum OF Sec on SlOO
worth of tsHsble property, hxed ss the
rate of taxation for 1872, Is more than
should be collected from the people In the
preseut embarrassed condition Of our
