VIII you allow me to suggest to those
who will be our lawmakers the coming
fall, the propriety of altering the time of
taking the list in this state, ard have 1t
done the same time as in New York. In
Vermont the list is made April list, in New
York May LIST. There is a great evil of
floating population who live no where and
control considerable money, loaned at from
ten to fifteen per cent. April list they are
residents of New York and May LIST they
reside in Vermont, and go evade paying
taxes in either state. The number who do
this is surprising. Let Vermont change
the day of listing and her grand list will be
increased. There are many who claim the
protection of our laws, who are not willing
to bear their share of the expenses OF gov
eminent. The court records of Rutland
county will sustain my position.
