THE pOndeTous tax on wagons used for
public carriage has been reduced from SO to
Sc n wagon, and in this form has passed
three readings in the Senate and is consid-
cred safe for its passage shrough the House.
But delays are dangerous, gentlemen Legis-
lators, and the end of the session eometh
like a thief in the night; or if that doesn't
come, the commencement of a new financial
year will soon come, and if the original law
remqins unrepaalel the tax-gatherers will
be down on the wagons.
Since writing the above we learn from Mr..
M0Seley, County Court Clerk, that the bill
reducing the tax 10 s. has passed both
Houses and only awaits the Governors sig
nature TO become law.
