Adjourned County Tax Meeting.

The County Tax Meeting, which was ad-
Journed from the 2lst inst. until | a. m.
Tuesday, in this city, met at the City Court
Room, Mayor Dodge of Burlington, in the
chair. Every town in the county was
represented. Mr.. Roberts, in behalf of the
counsel appointed at the previous meeting,
made q statement to the effect that he had
consulted with Messrs. Phelps and Hard
and had considered some recent decisions of
the Supreme Court on the subject, not pub
lished, when the City Council of Burling-
ton took counsel IN 1870, and they had unani-
mously come to the conclusion that there
was no method to test this question in the
courts with any fair hope of success. The
only remedy was in the legislature, which
was practically omnipotent in the laying of
taxes, the power oftaxation being an arbi-
trary one.
On motion Of Henry Gillett the meeting
adjourned SINE die.
