to your honorable Body that the rice uau-
ters OF the State are at present under the
stlpuiatlOns OF section 9th. of Act ~ SOS.
SION lS.9, sui lected to an UNNECESSARY and
injurious tax, from the fact. that Ills tnx
or license on rice fumes must, accor,lino to
the provisions OF the law be paid every
year whist 1t frequently happens, as for
instance III the GEAR 1879, and also in the
present year, that the rice crops are lost, or
at least seriously injured by the falling of
the water at the very time when it Is most
needed, and that therefore it is urinst tn
these good people, to compel them to nav
TAX ON an object, from which they derive
no benefit.
We therefore respectfully ask of your
honorable body that You will at the earliest
practicable period repeal section 9th. of
Act 81 and so grant to your petitioners a re.
